Emma Stone's new movie has received an official release date on Disney+.

Kinds of Kindness will debut exclusively on the streaming service from August 30 in the UK. In the US, the dark comedy will be available on Hulu from the same date.

The film is described as a "triptych fable" and tells three different but "loosely connected" stories.

The first story follows "a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life", while the second centres on "a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person".

The third is about "a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader".

Directed by Poor Things' Yorgos Lanthimos, the movie boasts a star-studded cast, including Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer

Originally released in cinemas on June 28, Kinds of Kindness won Plemons the Best Actor award at Cannes Film Festival this year.

After premiering at Cannes, the movie received positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and now has a respectable 72% critics' rating.

In a four-star review of Kinds of Kindness, Digital Spy noted: "You won't necessarily 'get' it all in the first watch, and perhaps even not on a rewatch, and Lanthimos leaves it to you to piece together what it all means."

Kinds of Kindness will stream from August 30 on Disney+ in the UK and on Hulu in the US.
