For such an obvious work, subtlety wasn't going to get it anywhere insightful, but it also doesn't work to be so overly unrefined about it. And it's not because I think what it attacks doesn't deserve it, but the criticism of the elites has become tiresome when it's nothing more than a fleeting piece of entertainment, even if the film is almost 3 hours long.

Triangle of Sadness is a film that pretends to be so much when it begins to mindlessly circle around in its own redundancy and banality. And while this doesn't lead me to say that this makes it a low quality film - which it doesn't - its engagement reminds me of the expression ''panem et circenses'' as we are entertained by the performance that is supposed to mock the elites who don't give a damn when they wallow in their excesses.

It was not bad per se, but it is too long, and its impact is ephemeral.… Expand

Definitely better than glass onion lol this is one of those artsy Sundance type films that I'm always hoping to see. Was pretty hyped for this, especially since it had woody cast as captain, I was sure this would be a blockbuster but it wasDefinitely better than glass onion lol this is one of those artsy Sundance type films that I'm always hoping to see. Was pretty hyped for this, especially since it had woody cast as captain, I was sure this would be a blockbuster but it was pretty lackluster. Not sure what they were going for. If they were going for, the showing of how rich ppl suck and couldn't start a fire to save their own lives, I get that, but I can just watch surviver for that lol. This seems like just a bunch of rich fks that ended up in a bad spot.. like anyone cares lol worth a watch? Sure..… Expand

I liked "Force Majeure," and I think 'The Square' was not that bad, but 'Triangle of Sadness' is an ugly movie with little to no subtlety. Making fun of the rich is always good, but Ruben Östlund takes all the fun of it with a dull and pretentious tale about social hierarchy. I can't believe this won the Palme d'Or and is a Best Picture nominee at the Oscars. Disgraceful.… Expand

'Triangle of Sadness' is the kind of movie that tries to offer something new. Here it is the form that attracts attention more than the content.

Because this movie is visually very interesting : it is bright, colourful, sometimes dark and it combines many different environments. Actors are likeable even if some (as Carl) desperately need some more depth.

The film is divided into three acts, surely referring to its title as well as the love triangle on which the plot focuses in the last act. But this separation in acts doesn't bring much to the storyline other than a complete change of set. And that is the main flaw of the movie : the story doesn't move on with events, it is the events that bring something vaguely looking like a story. And if the first half of the movie is really promising and throws a lot of parallel sidestories, the second half makes it ridiculous.

The film oscillates awkwardly in the reading grids it proposes, from the social grid (with allusions to friendship, love, equality between partners, careers in couples, etc.) to the most trivial grids (such as our human condition, our concern to look good, to seduce, to make wealth a priority). And the quality decreases even more when disturbing and shocking scenes appear and try to make us laugh. It questions many cultural and political aspects, but doesn't seem to offer a true reflection about it.… Expand

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

Triangle Of Sadness is an overlong chaotic mess of a film, sometimes unfocus, sometimes i feel like the movie need to add that one character back to join so that it could make it better, it wasn't bad but very flawed, all the performance areTriangle Of Sadness is an overlong chaotic mess of a film, sometimes unfocus, sometimes i feel like the movie need to add that one character back to join so that it could make it better, it wasn't bad but very flawed, all the performance are great and each of their character works, Charlbi Dean (may her rest in peace) in her last ever performance is giving a star in the making type of performance, the production was good, but again the story was a mess, the first half was fine while sometimes unfocus, and the other half of the story was too long, not bad, but the most flawed, Triangle Of Sadness have some value and style to it, while missing a satisfying conclusion at the same time i do want the movie to get over, it's a mixed bag overall but i wouldn't say it's bad, it still have something in it that i can appreciate very much, but most of the time it's a meh.… Expand
