Triangle of Sadness
Stream
Rent & Buy
A celebrity model couple are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged, alcoholic captain. What first appears Instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island in a struggle of hierarchy.
What critics thought
Ruben Östlund's Palme d'Or-winning class-war satire drew genuinely split reactions: admirers found it a bracingly vulgar, structurally inventive skewering of the ultra-wealthy, while detractors felt its social commentary was too blunt to be truly subversive. The film's centerpiece vomit-and-chaos sequence became a lightning rod — loved by some as anarchic comedy, rejected by others as proof that shock replaces depth.
“a movie of targeted demagogy that pitches its facile political stances to the preconceptions of the art-house audience; far from deepening those ideas or challenging those assumptions, it flatters the like-minded viewership while swaggering with the filmmaker's presumption of freethinking, subversive audacity”
Richard Brody·The New Yorker
“For Östlund, subtlety is overrated. Triangle of Sadness shows us why he has a point. It's a spectacular demolition of modern life, a disruptor movie full of ideas and nuance, as violent in its way as a Pieter Bruegel painting.”
Paul Byrnes·Sydney Morning Herald
“Yes, the metaphor can seem very on-the-nose: the super rich, in this economic climate especially, are obscene and repulsive! But it's a film of great subtlety (really) and benefits from multiple viewings.”
