What should've been the most interesting part is played out in long-winded fashion, but the rest of the film delivers plenty of laughs and the ending sealed it for me. Cinema would be far less exciting were it not for directors like Ruben Östlund.

Unfocused and too long. The last hour or so, I’m mostly waiting for it to end, but when it fors, the ending is a disappointment. The main theme is global inequality, but this story is as shallow as the song. It is not all bad and there are some funny scenes. The verdict is 2, but it’s a strong 2.

Pretty thoroughly perfect. There’s maybe one scene that could be shorter in the final 15 mins but I don’t mind it honestly. Ostlund carefully provides these moments of characterization to make the satire just relatable enough to make our laughing hurt deeper. I like how the first chapter transitions from the themes/world of The Square to this new direction. It’s like Haneke with the subject matter of Bunuel. Ostlund has made something more commercial here without losing his boldness. Excellent.

Parasite for misanthropes.

So basically we better learn to fish and make a fire or we're fucked.

So Ruben Östlund went straight from elegant satire (The Square) to extremely blunt. I like it because he probably did exactly what he wanted to. And I was truly entertained despite the weaker third part.

Savage, repulsive, shameless, so-true-it’s hilarious takedown of post-capitalism.

Parables are laid thick in this satire that illustrates our human condition that is extremely susceptible to corruption. Even if childishly on the nose, I cannot help but to be in awe of this derogatory spectacle. This is some of the best dialogue writing I’ve seen in years. All the characters are deeply flawed and disgustingly opportunistic but still so very relatable, human and endearing. I’ve absolutely met these people in real life. My highest rated movie of the year.

I mean it’s a tad on the nose right? Basically having a guys monocle fall into his own puke and shit while he says well I never is a bit much, but who am I to hate on a guy keeping shit humour alive. How many movies this year will have an old lady dying in and rolling in shit and puke

Plenty of amusing moments. Extremely broad, obvious satire. Satire should offer you a perspective that challenges you instead of reaffirming what you already think.

Östlund gonna Östlund. There's something to be said for how increasing success has allowed him to go from satirizing teacher's lounges to multi-millionnaire yachts and finding much the same hipocrisy everywhere. Does it need to be 2 1/2 hours? No, but then, part of it is having to sit in the awkwardness, and driving jokes past the point where we can comfortably pat ourselves on the back.
1	The_Rveal	40 _81st
The pitiless gaze of Östlund’s camera, recalling contemporaries like Michael Haneke or Ulrich Seidl, has a deadpan effect that perfectly complements the desperate and absurd goings-on in front of it. Triangle of Sadness doesn’t leave audiences with much to unpack thematically—again, fish in a barrel—but it’s clear-eyed and hilarious about the systems that enforce societal inequities and what might happen if they were ever to unravel.

Started great, ended worst. Stop making this kind of absurdist shits. This is not real life. cinema must show to us real life. At least a little bit. I am just ok with "satire". Just this

quite a disappointing movie from ostlund. entertaining at times but the movie drags in the second half. repetitive humour, too obvious satire, very flat dialogues, etc.

I guess there will be a "circle" in Ostlund's next film's title.

Östlund is getting better in his politics in that this time, unlike his previous movies, he points out where virtue may reside, in a surprisingly politically incorrect way. The russian shitseller (Putin) becomes the ship's captain (overtaking sleepy Joe) due to his realism, thougness, and cynicism (he doesn't vomit). The Filippino lady is virtuous too as she doesn't believe in any fake, moralized good of the rich as she makes the model her sex-slave. Apart from those, cinematically unimportant.

It’s a movie that makes it very obvious what it’s doing. When it’s not rubbing your nose in shit and puke it’s showing you the easiest tokens of excess (and Ulysses which like you don’t need to show your influences but I like to Leo point at screen as much as anyone). Satire gets very muddled once they leave the boat. You can sense Ostlund reaching for something smarter but it mainly ends up being a both sides uhhhh everyone has the ability to be bad person even if they’re poor. Which like eh

The surprise of the year. Such a well-written and beautifully crafted satire. Not subtle at all, but the bluntness works wonders. All the characters are clever and have a purpose, and the attention to detail is remarkable. My only negative is that the third act did drag in some parts, contrary to the second act which nailed the pacing.

If this movie had lived up to its full potential it would be GOAT-level but the last section is about twice as long as it needs to be and it’s a little messy and kind of flounders around the central theme instead of just going for it but when it’s at its best, which is pretty much most of the first 60%, it is fuckin unbelievable.

About as good as 'The Square' and 'Force Majeure', and while nothing here outshines the first half of the latter, I was engaged throughout 'Triangle of Sadness'.

Subtlety is overrated! Or at least that’s an argument that’s easy to make when the film in question keeps shooting bullseyes in its soft targets. As far as Neon-distributed Palme d’Or winning class-system satire/comedies featuring an erupting toilet go, this doesn’t compare favorably to Parasite, but I had a really good time all the same.

Brilliant 3-part movie filled with dark humor. What is the most masterful about it is that you actually lose the protagonist at the second part. I still have a question about the final scene with the young guy running through the bushes and getting cuts, and the final scene with the 2 women felt a little too dark and out of place. The yacht scenes were just amazingly funny, plus all the crew that was trying to stay as helpful as they could hehehe

My initial reaction was tepid, based on a number of scenes where the rich and privileged served as low-hanging targets of derision and shallow satire. But I've warmed up to it a little in the days following the viewing. It has its fair share of clever moments where the hierarchy (triangle) is inverted, whether it's male models making less than their female counterparts, or the captain avoiding food poisoning because he ate a burger instead of the bougie course meals.

Pretty much sums up the film year at the moment: overlong, indulgent, and feigning depth when it’s just as ignorant as the systems and people it’s trying to take down. Many individual scenes shine but there isn’t much connective tissue to cohere the experience. Another theme of the year: it’s just mean. Comedy and satire is meant to “punch up” but this punches everything it sees - performative grievance theatre, all vomit and circumstance, signifying nothing.
