The movie is as loaded with fun as it is with social implications. Its broad comedy about the modeling world plays like a deadpan version of “Zoolander,” and its third act has more primal drama than a season’s worth of “Survivor.” Read full review

It’s a stellar film that hits a rare sweet spot as both mainstream, accessible entertainment, and also an undeniably incisive piece of cultural commentary. And best of all, it will keep you on your toes until the sensational final moment of its breezy drift. Read full review

Triangle hits more marks than it misses, and in a somber, often underwhelming season of would-be arthouse hits, the movie is a bona-fide trip: not the funhouse mirror we need for these ridiculous times, maybe, but one we deserve. Read full review

If “Triangle of Sadness” falls short of greatness, it lives comfortably on the tier of goodness, even as it unpacks such bad, bad behavior. Read full review

There’s the flabby third act in which Östlund slightly fumbles the hand-tooled Louis Vuitton ball. Read full review

The only thing Östlund’s po-faced characters can’t afford is to recognize the absurdity inherent to their lives, and so the movie keeps our response muted to a low chuckle, as if anything louder might reach the people on screen and cause the whole charade to fall apart. Read full review

There are movies that are on-the-nose and then there is Ruben Ostlund’s Triangle of Sadness, a satire™ that is so pharyngeal that it is the cinematic equivalent of a COVID-19 swab. Read full review

How many bad things can happen when a bunch of despicable people are gathered on a pleasure cruise? If the idea was to make social criticism with black humor, the formula worked and it really did. By way of warning there is the one that is not for all tastes.

Just an outstanding movie, especially if you're a fan of his other big movie Force Majeure, or if you happen to like Below Deck shows.

The 'Triangle of Sadness' movie can be classified as a normal upward movie. The first part of the movie was much stronger in terms of scenario than other parts of the movie. Compared to Ruben Östlund's other films, this one is underrated.

Maybe a 6,5. Ultimately disappointing. I was expecting more than this, honestly. It is unique and often fun to watch, but the revelations about the human beings and our societies feel simplistic and somehow forced. Missed chance.

Inconclusive except in the two fleeting moments dominated by the soundtrack: during the opening credits with Suicide's "Ghost Rider" (1977), at least until it turns out that it is the sampling on which in 2010 M.I.A. based the song "Born Free" with the famous video clip(Mauro Lanari)
Inconclusive except in the two fleeting moments dominated by the soundtrack: during the opening credits with Suicide's "Ghost Rider" (1977), at least until it turns out that it is the sampling on which in 2010 M.I.A. based the song "Born Free" with the famous video clip directed by Roman Gavras rattling off his usual gratuitous violence, and during the upheaval of the yacht captained by Harrelson while expoding "New Noise" (1997), the most famous Refused song. Then the age-old question that afflicts Buñuel and the epigones resurfaces: one can defecate on the establishment and in a single indelible sequence of not even 5 minutes ("Le fantôme de la liberté", 1974), but if then that same establishment showers you with awards (Oscar, Palms, Golden and Silver Lions), it means that the attack was nothing short of unproductive.… Expand
