"Triangle of Sadness" é uma versão estendida e não polida de um dos episódios da primeira temporada de "The White Lotus". E, sim, isso é um elogio.

Porém, acredito que o obsedante começo e o caótico final amarram uma visível lacuna no meio do filme, onde, além de termos que se esforçar muito para acreditar que toda aquela zona é real e possível, uns cortes na montagem não fariam falta.

Ruben Östlund cria um ambiente seguro de si, desde a postura dos atores e diálogos à escolha da palheta de cores pelo design de produção, tudo é muito coeso, retratando, em tom de sátira, a vida banal da classe alta.
O filme inicia mostrandoRuben Östlund cria um ambiente seguro de si, desde a postura dos atores e diálogos à escolha da palheta de cores pelo design de produção, tudo é muito coeso, retratando, em tom de sátira, a vida banal da classe alta.
O filme inicia mostrando os modelos, já nos inserindo na atmosfera superficial de seus corpos magros e sarados, mostrando que o que está por vir não irá ganhar contornos tão profundos assim, no sentido de manter as aparências prioritariamente. É como se o filme nos introduzisse ao mundo do simulacro, como diria Baudrillard, em imagens que tentam ser a referência para as personalidades perdidas que serão expostas logo em seguida.
Daí o filme parte para um delicioso date entre dois modelos, reafirmando o seu prólogo: a cena do jantar em que há uma pequena discussão sobre quem irá pagar a conta, consegue abordar desde o machismo estrutural ao jogo de encenações baseado em um status que pode ser desmentido num estalar de dedos. os atores estão super bem, cínicos e hipócritas na medida certa, falando das suas relações como se dinheiro não importasse (mas sabemos que importa0, e tentando a todo instante parecerem cults o suficiente.
Vale dizer aqui que não há heróis ou vilões. Todos os personagens irão apresentar camadas dúbias, querendo mostrar o que não são, realizando um jogo de cena que invade suas personalidades, e é ótimo que a comédia não fica escrachada, é contida na medida certa.
Após a cena com o casal, o filme vai para o cruzeiro, onde são inseridos mais personagens e uma chuva de hipocrisia. Temos ali grandes empresários, de várias idades, mostrando toda sua arrogância e futilidade. As cenas em que o iate vai balançando e em que o capitão (um americano marxista) discute com um passageiro (um russo liberal) é digna de muitas risadas e referências a Lênin, Dickens, Marx... Uma delícia de acompanhar, um humor altamente refinado.
Cameron fez do afundamento do Titanic algo único e dramático, mas as cenas aqui, embora menos técnicas, não deixam nada a desejar, inserindo inclusive, um pouco de escatologia, tornando o naufrágio deliciosamente grotesco.
Os diálogos e cenas incríveis, infelizmente, perdem força no terceiro ato, quando estão perdidos na ilha, e embora tenham passagens interessantes, o filme decai muito no final, a longa duração também não contribui para um desfecho e um clímax mais envolvente, embora ali os tais ricaços estejam expostos a condições de vida instintivas interessantes, como busca por alimentos ou mesmo o sexo.
Por apresentar uma crítica meio que balzaquiana à elite social, o filme consegue ser engraçado e reflexivo ao mesmo tempo, rindo daquelas figuras tolas e medíocres, que supervalorizam corpos e aparências. Se o final fosse no mesmo nível, seria obra-prima. Ainda assim, uma das melhores comédias dos últimos anos, um grande filme para assistir tanto com o intuito de rir quanto com o intuito de captar suas canetadas à alta sociedade. Recomendo.… Expand

Satires are usually either a hit orClassism, capitalism, materialism and wealth are all on the chopping block in "Triangle Of Sadness," writer/director Ruben Östlund's spiritual follow-up to his 2017, Golden-Palm-winning satire "The Square." Satires are usually either a hit or a miss for me. Whether I understand the message is not really where things all break down for me either. Instead, it's the communication of the message — the execution — that can make or break a satire for me. Am I lectured to? Talked down to? Beaten over the head? With "Triangle Of Sadness," Östlund nails that sweet spot of delivering a nuanced message in a satisfying manner, with inarguable entertainment value and great performance work throughout. This piece covers so much ground — narratively, logistically, as well as thematically. It's really quite impressive work. I think the best thing I can say about a satire is that, when things round out, you really get a clear sense of the filmmaker's take on the subject matter at hand. I think "Triangle Of Sadness" earns that acclamation in spades.… Expand

They are soon plagued with foodA young and rich socialite couple (Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean in her final film role, as she tragically passed away this past August) board a luxury cruise along with several other affluent members. They are soon plagued with food poisoning, seasickness, and eventually find themselves stranded on an island as everybody comes to a reckoning with their wealth, social status, class, etc. Winner of this year's coveted Palme D'or at the Cannes Film Festival and directed by Ruben Ostlund (who helmed 2017's Palme D'or winner 'The Square' and 'Force Majure'), this is a film that pulls no punches in satirizing the wealthy/privileged or those with high social status, as class is heavily lambasted here in several poignant, clever, and even sometimes funny ways. Performances from all involved are fun to watch here as well, with Dickinson and Dean turning in great performances here, as well as Woody Harrelson as the Marxist alcoholic captain running the ship. I will say however that at two and a half hours, it does start to beat a dead horse with its savage critique of the wealthy about halfway through the film, and the ending, while somewhat unexpected, also proved to be a bit underwhelming and too little too late for my liking. But overall, it's a rather sharp and humorous satirical look at the contrast (and unexpected dependency) both the rich and the poor have with each other, even if it feels a little stretched out with its two and a half hour runtime. If anything, hopefully it'll put all those who are privileged in better check.… Expand

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.

Triangle of Sadness is grotesque on so many levels, it’s absolutely insane and I loved it. If you haven’t seen it already, fix that now because this is an experience not to be missed.

Celebrity couple Yaya (Charlbi Dean) and Carl (HarrisTriangle of Sadness is grotesque on so many levels, it’s absolutely insane and I loved it. If you haven’t seen it already, fix that now because this is an experience not to be missed.

Celebrity couple Yaya (Charlbi Dean) and Carl (Harris Dickinson) are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich. What starts as the picture perfect and most instagrammable voyage on the sea quickly turns sour and ends in the most catastrophic way possible. Now stranded on an island, they must fight for their survival. Sure who wouldn’t want to be stranded on an island with a bunch of self-centred millionaires, what could possibly go wrong in that scenario?

Triangle of Sadness is unique, fun and disgusting all at once. It doesn’t pull its punches when making fun of the model industry, the ultra-wealthy and how they’ve accumulated their wealth. It’s a satirical commentary on class and how the other half live, especially how out of touch with reality they can be. So ultimately when everything starts going catastrophically wrong you can’t help but think “ah sure don’t they kinda deserve it.”

It’s grotesque in how some of these people end up treating the staff who must endure their insufferable requests. I’ve never been on a cruise (and after this, that’s even less likely to happen) but anyone who has or those particularly who’ve worked on them I’m sure can relate to this. As disgusting as some of the people portrayed in Triangle of Sadness are, there are moments where you’ll almost feel sorry for them, but you might also be wiping the tears from your face from laughing. A story that places these uber-rich people in a survival situation plays out about as well as you’d expect. It feels like two movies joined together, with the first act reminding me of Zoolander at times, then eventually descending into a more Lord of the Flies vibe, with a third act taking a strange turn.

Perhaps a satirical comedy about some of the most horrific people isn’t for everyone. The seasickness scene particularly is horrendous and maybe you should make sure you’re done munching away on popcorn at that point. It does seem a little drawn out in places, yet I was never bored, but this did make the abrupt ending feel like it came out of nowhere. Despite that I still thoroughly enjoyed Triangle of Sadness.

Harris Dickinson is certainly having a great year onscreen, Where The Crawdads Sing, See How They Run and now Triangle of Sadness all in 2022. The guy is going places that’s for sure and I’m sure we’ll continue to see him in lots of different movies to come. Alongside the late Charlbi Dean together they are brilliant as the model/influencer couple. After winning a trip on the yacht, they seem a little out of place next to all the others who’ve bought a ticket. Although they also have questionable character traits you do feel for them when things descend into chaos. Woody Harrelson always puts in a great performance, if anything he could have been used more. Also Dolly De Leon is another standout performance, she is wonderful. Everyone brought their best to this movie and it shows. It didn’t win the Palme d’Or at Cannes for nothing and after this I intend on checking out director and writer Ruben Östlund’s other movies.

The cinema was completely packed and in stitches laughing at the Triangle of Sadness. So, if you’re in the mood for something a little different and done with all the horror movies right now then here’s your movie. If you’re still unsure the trailer gives a pretty good idea of what you’re in for. Highly recommended.… Expand

Interesting story line, we find two lovers quarrelling about money, on an expensive vacation with high rollers we get a lot of the rich vs. the masses, then we get the flip side. Seems like an hour TV show that got padded to make a movie.

Unfortunately, because this happens in a movie that, in addition to focusing more on the drama parts, lacks the soul and sense of storytelling. (or is afraid of doing it) but fills this problem with appropriate and calculated humor. Fortunately, because the director has a good understanding of the characters, the chemistry of the stars (especially Tracy Woody Harrelson) and also the society he wants to portray, and achieves a gentle reality . and works better than than the big budget adventure films. I think that this movie is the best and most cinematic work that is very similar to Daniel Defoe's Robinson Coruso.
This Ruben Östlund's film which is made with a relatively small budget, is also the meeting point of a "familiar and slightly soiled kind of realism" with " almost perfect exciting adaptations "which their biggest flaw is the lack of that realism. But it still lacks the soul and sense of storytelling found in few successful blockbusters. And one of its interesting features is the ability to remove many of its parts.5/5… Expand

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.
