I didn’t hate it…I just didn’t love it, the last act felt like it was spinning its wheels

Although at times the charisma of Woody Harrelson can smooth the waters, this movie does not have the intelligence of Parasite -with which it has certain thematic links-, but neither has the audacity of the films of Radu Jude. [Full review in Spanish]

Ruben Östlund cements himself as the people’s satirist. Laying bare an incendiary critique of the 1% that never pats itself on the back, instead being the rare epic that invites its audience to take part in its blistering dismantlement of the idle rich.

Bitter, clever and absolutely on the money.

Even though Triangle of Sadness is entertaining, Östlund could’ve taken more steps to criticise the shallowness of wealthy people and social media influencers.

"Gilligan's Island" holds up as a better example of the left roasting right-wing capitalist pigs, whose greed knows no sliver of human decency.
Full Review | Original Score: TWO STARS | Aug 5, 2023
The surprising turn of events in Triangle of Sadness leads to an inevitable conclusion; power is the ultimate form of currency, and even the lowliest of dictators will do whatever it takes to hang onto it.

"Triangle of Sadness" is a true artist's take on people's twisted behavior when they know they have leverage.
Full Review | Jul 25, 2023
The target of Ruben Östlund’s latest class satire is a takedown of the tone-deaf rich on the high seas. Unfortunately, this satire doesn’t challenge the status quo but flatters like-minded individuals thoughts on class and wealth.

This satirical late capitalist parable about the rich’s intolerant food chain and gender roles is never detained by the sledgehammer procedure of its creator.

Triangle of Sadness loses credibility by backing off in the film’s final moments. We’re left with a cliffhanger, a reminder of the limits Östlund could have gone to.

If at times its gross out humour can prove a bit too much, the razor sharp script and timely subject matter keep it a constantly engaging film that rarely feels its runtime.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 19, 2023
I found it to be far too obvious and much too long; it's nowhere near as searing and subtle as Östlund's 'Force Majeure,' which had an emotional sting.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 29, 2023
As was the case with Force Majeure (and not so much the case with The Square), Triangle of Sadness is funny, at times outrageously so.

It’s a wild satire of the mega-wealthy and the people who serve them.
Full Review | Apr 24, 2023
'Triangle of Sadness' kicks up the wild meter and delivers a more narratively scattered work [compared to Östlund’s previous films]. Still, it hangs in the mind and is intelligent filmmaking.
Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Apr 18, 2023
This year a good Scandinavian director shows many things I have observed in real life but never once seen depicted on screen and he gets castigated for it.

Despite the spiciness of its ingredients, this feature film becomes the equivalent of a frustrating three-course meal that gradually disenchants the palate. [Full review in Spanish]

There is a point where all good intentions in a storyline turn to dust, and that is when the said narrative stops respecting its characters, however vile they are.
