See, I still have no clue as to why, but I found this onee extremely compelling to watch;
Never mind the weird but always wonderful shtick with Woody Harrelson, but as a whole it just shows a facet of certain people lives i never got to know.
Do you have any opinions at all on this one or just take it as is ?!

The journey til the end of the movie is an absolute treat
I feel embarrassed because it is so dumb but the captain's dinner scene was the hardest I ever laughed in a cinema.
..a capitalist communist and a communist capitalist .. that sells shit 😅..!!
This line was gold. But the part that got me was when the guests all suddenly started to throw up simultaneously. My humour is broken😂
The part that got me was when they're both super drunk in the Captain's cabin, and the Russian guy is yelling into the PA system "the ship is going under, the ship is going under" and we see all the guests and crew panic. Ahhhh, I'm cracking up just writing it.
Don't feel embarrassed, that is some of the best physical and gross out comedy of all time. I was in pain from laughing after.
Balenciaga.....H&M.........
😒😝😒😝😒😝😒😝
For me, it’s a great first half let down by a meandering second half.
It’s about as subtle as a brick to the face and that’s usually a major turn-off for me in movies, but it is so fearlessly committed to its gross-out absurdity that it becomes this weirdly perverse and hilarious joy; Woody Harrison waxing philosophical about Marxism while the richest people in the world are literally thrown around their own piss, shit, and vomit is a marriage of sight and sound that only cinema can conjure.
When they get to the island, it slooooowwws down and becomes decidedly less-exciting but still no less subtle. It’s not bad, but a major come-down from that first half. I feel bad for Dolly DeLeon who is fantastic, but she’s the best part of easily the film’s worst.
..Sure you're not a professional reviewer bud ?! This paragraph right here made me laugh insanely
I’m honored, thank you! I grew up reading a lot of Roger Ebert when I was a kid, I absolutely love writing about movies when the inspiration strikes. This is a very high compliment for me. ☺️
Nothing can really top the vomiting scene, so yeah everything after that is a drag. I think if the script were tweaked to make the island scenes a lot shorter it would work better overall.
Yeah, everything this movie wanted to do The Menu did better. Everything was on the nose but when the Marxism rant started my eyes rolled to the back of my head. It really was as subtle as a brick to the face.
I think the HBO show White Lotus is a much better, more subtle critique of the absurdly rich.
This movie is very interesting but is too hamfisted for me to say I liked it.
Aren’t most of the characters in white lotus pretty regular people? There were a few rich characters but was it really a “critique of the absurdly rich”?
similar to Triangle of Sadness, the class divide falls pretty neatly between guests/passengers (very rich/insiders), and staff (working/lower class/outsiders). There are a couple exceptions, Like Paula, Portia, and Quinn, but the show is very clear about how those characters end up aligning themselves.
Tanya, Olivia and her family, Ethan and Harper, Cameron and Daphne, Dominic and his family are absolutely absurdly rich. Maybe the hand grenade couple or the schlubby Russian have more money but the point is with all of them that their wealth is great enough to be unrelatable to the viewer.
Do yall think the posh girl got killed by the toilet manager in the end or not ? Her "reign" was at an end ..
For sure Abigail brought that rock down on Yaya's head after Yaya tells her she can be her assistant. Her reign is over but she is taking Yaya down with her. Carl will be too late.
..😅😅..let's be honest here, Carl really is a bit of a donut lol
I was wondering if Abigail already knew about what they would find on that side of the island, given that she had probably been scouting on her own previously and was keeping it a secret to maintain her reign.
Ooh! Never thought of that…
I enjoyed it.
Absolutely adore this one. It’s perfection.
One of the best movies of the year.
I was disappointed, mainly because I thought Östlund's The Square (2017) was absolutely brillant, and so my expectaions for Triangle were high. While the first half had some great moments, the second was a let down. I found the plot to be predictable, and the characters leaned too far into satirical stereotypes to resonate with me.
Compared to Östlund's other films, it was not very suble about its message. It didn't say anything new about inequality, power dynamics and the relativity of wealth IMO.
But again, my disappointment stems from my adoration of Östlund's previously films (Force Majeure (2014) is also great). I hope he will return to form.
It’s a bit of a slow burn in the beginning but once they are on the yacht and things get weirder and weirder - loved it. But the beginning almost lost me.
I adore this movie. The ending sat with me for quite a while. The depiction of class struggle was so unique and well crafted. The tragedy of the ending.
Garbage. All hype. No substance.
I found it to be utterly mediocre. There is nothing smart about it. It's just pandering and not in a fun way.
Oh yeah, well that's how I feel about your comment!
Hey let me pander to the people who don't like it!
The scene where the rich blonde Russian wife lady is being thrown around on the bathroom floor made me laugh so hard it made the whole movie worth it
Loved the initial set up but it got incredibly stupid in the 2nd half. Didnt fulfill its promise.
What is done in the first two parts of the movie is undone in the last one. The result is a pessimistic/nihilistic mess.
Kinda feels similar to a james gunn film but a fun satire nevertheless
Haha, what? How is this like a James Gunn film?
Does someone like Gunn even have a distinct style?
In no way shape or form am I claiming this movie is anything like James Gunn film but I do believe Gunn has a style-
The man is the absolute king of ensembles where you learn about & genuinely identify with each character within 2-3 minutes. Terse, effective character development.
The big bad will usually have a very personal connection to a hero (which is a bit more than the MCU usually delivers).
His dark & juvenile sense of humor is very distinct (I'll eat a whole beach of dicks if it means peace, I thought I was a butt baby until I was 14, basically all of Drax, Rocket and Groot arguing over the bomb in GOTG 3, etc)
Very liberal in sensibilities and does it without being heavy-handed (Quinn's monologue in Suicide Squad, animal rights in GOTG 3, etc)
If Gunn had made Triangle of Sadness:
it wouldn't have such a slow buildup of the characters
there would be a defined bad guy (probably, not for sure here)
the humor would be very similar but probably more of it and our main guy wouldn't be so dull in personality
the sexual slavery of our man character would've been handled in a funnier way, i think.
The most bizarre take ive seen on this sub.
Triangle of Sadness is just like Guardians of the Galaxy with a soupcon of Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters unleashed.
