Pretty much sums up the film year at the moment: overlong, indulgent, and feigning depth when it’s just as ignorant as the systems and people it’s trying to take down. Many individual scenes shine but there isn’t much connective tissue to cohere the experience. Another theme of the year: it’s just mean. Comedy and satire is meant to “punch up” but this punches everything it sees - performative grievance theatre, all vomit and circumstance, signifying nothing.

What should've been the most interesting part is played out in long-winded fashion, but the rest of the film delivers plenty of laughs and the ending sealed it for me. Cinema would be far less exciting were it not for directors like Ruben Östlund.

And here we have a gourmet Survivor episode, classic schadenfreude refined for a more sophisticated palate, quite exquisite. The social commentary has a rich, earthy complexion with a playfully bitter aftertaste. Delightful! *vomits*

Östlund gonna Östlund, smug distance and all. There's something to be said for how increasing success has allowed him to go from satirizing teacher's lounges to multi-millionnaire yachts and finding much the same hipocrisy everywhere. Does it need to be 2 1/2 hours? No, but then, part of it is having to sit in the awkwardness, and driving jokes past the point where we can comfortably pat ourselves on the back.

Unfocused and too long. The last hour or so, I’m mostly waiting for it to end, but when it fors, the ending is a disappointment. The main theme is global inequality, but this story is as shallow as the song. It is not all bad and there are some funny scenes. The verdict is 2, but it’s a strong 2.

Pretty thoroughly perfect. There’s maybe one scene that could be shorter in the final 15 mins but I don’t mind it honestly. Ostlund carefully provides these moments of characterization to make the satire just relatable enough to make our laughing hurt deeper. I like how the first chapter transitions from the themes/world of The Square to this new direction. It’s like Haneke with the subject matter of Bunuel. Ostlund has made something more commercial here without losing his boldness. Excellent.

Perhaps it was false expectations that soured my opinion of this a bit, but I thought it was way too long. I didn’t find it all that funny either save for a few good moments. It is well made though. The acting is great, the production is really good, and I love the way it was shot. The ending saved it a bit for me as well. This is just one of those movies that I have more appreciation for rather than love. Lots of passion and work went in to this though, so I still recommend checking it out.

So Ruben Östlund went straight from elegant satire (The Square) to extremely blunt. I like it because he probably did exactly what he wanted to. And I was truly entertained despite the weaker third part.

Parables are laid thick in this satire that illustrates our human condition that is extremely susceptible to corruption. Even if childishly on the nose, I cannot help but to be in awe of this derogatory spectacle. This is some of the best dialogue writing I’ve seen in years. All the characters are deeply flawed and disgustingly opportunistic but still so very relatable, human and endearing. I’ve absolutely met these people in real life. My highest rated movie of the year.

The humour is broader than in Östlund’s previous two films and the general approach a little more scattershot, with the result being that, even though the story contains major and unexpected shifts, somehow the whole thing seems to become less interesting as it moves along. There are pleasures to be had, but it ends up as something of a disappointment.

This is a sometimes drama that's not very dramatic, an occasional comedy that's not very funny and a desperate satire that's so unsubtle as to be completely uninteresting. We also have mostly unlikable characters not doing much of anything except being snarky and bickering with each other, and a central section specifically designed to turn your stomach, resulting in a rough couple of hours. Woody Harrelson and Zlatko Buric are kind of amusing in their scenes together but that's about it.

The 1st act is a bit of a chore but Östlund sets up his cinematic thesis on money, power, gender dynamics & society in a masterful fashion. At ~150 min the film is long (with moments where you feel it) but mostly it's engaging in either a fun, gross or topic-starting way. My favourite moment was the quote-off between Harrelson & Buric. The 3rd act signals a theme of fixed societal roles that people are desperate to fulfil to the point of overlooking anything better & it plays out as expected.

The surprise of the year. Such a well-written and beautifully crafted satire. Not subtle at all, but the bluntness works wonders. All the characters are clever and have a purpose, and the attention to detail is remarkable. My only negative is that the third act did drag in some parts, contrary to the second act which nailed the pacing.

Östlund is getting better in his politics in that this time, unlike his previous movies, he points out where virtue may reside, in a surprisingly politically incorrect way. The russian shitseller (Putin) becomes the ship's captain (overtaking sleepy Joe) due to his realism, thougness, and cynicism (he doesn't vomit). The Filippino lady is virtuous too as she doesn't believe in any fake, moralized good of the rich as she makes the model her sex-slave. Apart from those, cinematically unimportant.

If this movie had lived up to its full potential it would be GOAT-level but the last section is about twice as long as it needs to be and it’s a little messy and kind of flounders around the central theme instead of just going for it but when it’s at its best, which is pretty much most of the first 60%, it is fuckin unbelievable.

Brilliant 3-part movie filled with dark humor. What is the most masterful about it is that you actually lose the protagonist at the second part. I still have a question about the final scene with the young guy running through the bushes and getting cuts, and the final scene with the 2 women felt a little too dark and out of place. The yacht scenes were just amazingly funny, plus all the crew that was trying to stay as helpful as they could hehehe

It’s a movie that makes it very obvious what it’s doing. When it’s not rubbing your nose in shit and puke it’s showing you the easiest tokens of excess (and Ulysses which like you don’t need to show your influences but I like to Leo point at screen as much as anyone). Satire gets very muddled once they leave the boat. You can sense Ostlund reaching for something smarter but it mainly ends up being a both sides uhhhh everyone has the ability to be bad person even if they’re poor. Which like eh

Subtlety is overrated! Or at least that’s an argument that’s easy to make when the film in question keeps shooting bullseyes in its soft targets. As far as Neon-distributed Palme d’Or winning class-system satire/comedies featuring an erupting toilet go, this doesn’t compare favorably to Parasite, but I had a really good time all the same.

My initial reaction was tepid, based on a number of scenes where the rich and privileged served as low-hanging targets of derision and shallow satire. But I've warmed up to it a little in the days following the viewing. It has its fair share of clever moments where the hierarchy (triangle) is inverted, whether it's male models making less than their female counterparts, or the captain avoiding food poisoning because he ate a burger instead of the bougie course meals.

Coming into an Östlund-film, I am looking for a story that will make me uncomfortable, something that will prick and prod at my own masculinity or Western/Scandinavian hypocrisy, making me laugh to suage the truthful sting of his bite. This movie did not deliver in this regard, being neither as funny or as savage as I would have liked. Perhaps it is simply because its' targets are so constantly talked about it takes a lot for it to feel new or interesting.

The pitiless gaze of Östlund’s camera, recalling contemporaries like Michael Haneke or Ulrich Seidl, has a deadpan effect that perfectly complements the desperate and absurd goings-on in front of it. Triangle of Sadness doesn’t leave audiences with much to unpack thematically—again, fish in a barrel—but it’s clear-eyed and hilarious about the systems that enforce societal inequities and what might happen if they were ever to unravel.

The first two chapters are Haneke-lite, i.e. momentarily entertaining with Östlund overreaching for a deeper sense of meaning when it comes to digital technology, surveillance, and the clash of the classes. However, the third chapter is significantly better as a Lanthimos-style take on 'Lord of the Flies'. In having this opinion, I seem to differ from most who call for the film to end with the pirate raid on the yacht, whereas I would start and go form here (perhaps with a 10 minute backstory).

A dark comedy satire about power, equality and the struggle for survival. Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes, "Triangle Of Sadness" is a worry wrinkle on the face of the privileged and the wealthy. At times disgusting and with a wicked sense of humor, Ruben Ostlund's social commentary satirizes class disparity, power imbalance and the disruption of hierarchy. With emphasis on political philosophy and social criticism, "Triangle" is very unpredictable and in the end will leave you wanting more.

The difficulty of this film is that its split into three modestly connected but very tonally distinct parts and as such some pieces naturally feel more compelling than others. Overall though, the whole piece comes together quite well - its fun, thematically cogent, always moving in unexpected directions, and it all comes together to form a biting satire that's relevant but never redundant.

Ostlund it's always so blunt and unsubtle in its satire, i guess his success is because it makes a lot of critics feel smart. The best part is stolen from Monty Python's Mr. Cresote, and the Island part is basically a reverse Swept Away (1974, Lina Wertmüller), but doesn't stand comparison with those inspirations. Nevertheless I can't say the film is not well made, it deliver what it wants to deliver.

This film reminded me of two other satirical films of recent years - Greed, with Steve Coogan and The Menu, with Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy. Its very much a dark comedy and its certainly quirky. Its maybe a little obvious what happens when you think back but there you go. Its not without its amusing moments, though I certainly wouldn't (personally) classify it as an 'out and out' comedy film, more like a bleak drama with a heavy emphasis on upper class satire? or some such.

The scattershot satire ultimately says rather little about class, modern society and human nature that’s not achingly obvious already, and does so using humour that rarely hits the mark. There’s plenty of directorial flair on show from Östlund in the first two acts but this completely vanishes in the third, as the story staggers to its uninspired and somewhat predictable close at a needlessly slow pace. Dolly de Leon comes out of nowhere with one of the performances of the year.

With throwing away of the subtletly (that was abundant in The Square) came a more public-friendly black comedy. The second act was quite annoying to see not because of how dirty it was but because of how bugging those two capitalist/Marxist pigs were. I liked the other two chapters.

Östlund is a highly talented filmmaker, and so everything he does is at least entertaining to look at.

The "criticism" particularly in the weak last part remains utterly shallow.

Triangle of Sadness is a unfunny comedy filled with extremely obvious satire. The characters are undeveloped, and unlikable. The whole thing is way too long. Now I didn't completely hate it. Why?

The first chapter could’ve been completely cut and more intricately weaves into the yacht section, which, let’s be honest, is far and away the most interesting part of the film, where the plot still shambles along like it does the whole film, but the filmmaking itself does the heavy lifting raising tension. The final part feels deflated and disconnected, so zoomed out that it’s difficult to keep caring.

An interesting and unpredictable, though perhaps overly long (especially the first act) film with themes that are timely though not at all subtle. The continual reinvention throughout the three parts is very interesting, though, and some of the scenes are laugh out loud funny (my favorite was the scene where the Russian woman demands the crew member get in the Jacuzzi--the acting from the crew member totally stole the show in this scene.) Ending felt a tad iffy, but a good film.

I understand the jarring three part structure, but the first and third part just end up repeating themselves over and over again, which results in a bloated runtime. There has to be a way to shave down the first part and bring it on to the ship, and then transition us more slowly from the ship to the island. That would make for better flow. I'm not sure how the ship literally went to shit so quickly. There is lots of confusion, little rewatchability, but a few solid laughs and pointed themes.

The first half is decent, but the last hour drags on far too long. I can see how it got a Best Director nomination, but the Original Screenplay and especially the Best Picture nomination are a bit surprising.

Extremily effective at what it's going for, that is, all out shameless satire. However, putting the satire of the third act on the same level as that of the first two made me feel a bit resigned, like mankind is shitty all around. And it's disingenuous : showing people with too much money behaving like assholes is just displaying an obvious social reality. While, showing a former maid instating sex slavery because she can is fun, but it's not how shipwreck survivors usually behave.

Will certainly require a second viewing to properly gauge Östlund’s intentions vs delivery, but at first glance it works as a gleefully nasty satire, (with a sometimes too savagely blunt tone). First act is a wonderfully intense two-hander, before giving way to a second act payoff which is a masterpiece of scatological vulgarity to rival Mr. Creosote! (Harrelson’s dead pan reaction shots are invaluable). Loses some steam in the final act, but overall still a fascinating and challenging film.

It is an Ostlund movie so you get everything you asked for and then some. He strikes his brushes more broadly when it comes to societal criticism this time, and it mostly works quite well. Also for the first time in his young career, the movie has a tidy and timely ending! One of the best movies of the year for sure.
