Triangle of Sadness (Ruben Östlund, 2022) • Page 2

my favorite film of the year

 

I think The Square is my favorite of his, although I don't remember it much.

 

The only thing they didn't do was pause the movie so the characters look at the audience and ask if we got the meaning. Foreign directors switching to English have a bad habit of beating their message to death.

 

This was fine. Donkey scene was incredibly upsetting.

 

on hulu 3/3

 

Thought this was a pretty funny satire, even if it was extremely on the nose. The New Noise needle drop was hilariously incredible, and the acting was pretty solid. Felt way too long and the pacing was suspect, like it didn’t want to lean too far into the tense, absurdist aspects. Almost felt a bit like a yorgos lanthimos film, but worse imo

 

Watching this now... was not prepared for the level of bodily fluids

 

Right? Almost had to stop the movie

 

I’m at a complete loss as to what about this movie anyone found insightful, or biting, or well written, or funny. Just so lazily shallow, and then parts 2 and 3 felt as if the director felt he had some quota to fill and drag each out an extra ~30min despite having nothing to fill it with.

 

What the hell did I just watch.

 

we had to watch with subtitles due to missing out on so many lines and this was the best one…


(Diarrhea flows)


When the guest is… yeah, on the toilet, then pukes at the same time after the captains dinner

 

Just watched this. Pretty unhinged but enjoyable. I get the subtlety criticisms but it didn’t bother me all that much. Thought it was still a pretty worthwhile watch.

 

Honestly sounds bad but hey ya never know.

 

The last one he did was supposed to be a satire but it was exhausting.

 

I liked Triangle way more than the other satire which came out around the same time, The Menu.

 

Loved Triangle of Sadness, I trust Östlund to do his thing tbh

 

Everyone wants to do Parasite but without the talent.

 

You don’t think either of those leads have talent?

 

Ostlund is the director.

I would much rather watch a movie with a bunch of "bad" or unknown actors and a good director than a "great" cast with a bad director.

 

I agree with that, but I also think Ostlund has a good film in him

 

Ostlund is a hack but they didn't have in-flight entertainment on my flight on Saturday and I was also really sad.
