What is Triangle of Sadness about?
Triangle of Sadness follows a trend of dark comedies unpacking privilege and the lives of the absurdly rich. Like White Lotus and Knives Out, the film explores the pinnacle of human flaws — greed, envy, selfishness — through instances of uncomfortable humor and uneasy interactions.
The focus is placed on Yaya (the late Charlbi Dean Kriek) and Carl (Harris Dickinson), a couple who happen to be in the spotlight, one as a model and the other as an influencer. They are given a free trip on a luxury yacht, where they encounter other socialites and high-society figures, alongside a crew waiting to look after them. The yacht also results in a whole lot of projectile vomiting, in a shocking scene that truly captured audiences.
What are people saying about the film?
Triangle of Sadness was one of 2022's most talked about films, finding a comfortable spot on multiple "Best Films of the Year" lists including Mashable's. Now, with three Oscar nominations including Best Picture, it's continuing to find high praise.
Mashable Film Editor Kristy Puchko called the film "outrageous, ruthless, and hilarious" in her review, praising the ensemble, one that the audience will not tire of watching no matter what insufferable the characters may be.
"Dark humor abounds amid a frightful fish-out-of-water scenario, which strides assuredly and unnervingly toward a climax that is perfectly fitting in that it too won't let you off the hook," Puchko writes.
"Packed with performances that'll make you shudder, gross-out gags that spark guffaws, and an unflinchingly embrace of social awkwardness that'll have you cringing so much you might cramp, Triangle of Sadness is not just a viewing experience but a physical one."
