But none of this is enough to fully salvage the film and make it worth watching. Some of the humour even elicits laughs, a rare trait for a modern comedy. The acting is executed well and the movie is styled in a unique yet restrained way. What's most frustrating is that the elements for a great movie are right there. Even when the boat is finally left behind, the plot does not pick up whatsoever and still refuses to engage the audience. Any through line established in the opening is completely dropped for no apparent reason. This leads to scene after scene of no consequence and little entertainment value, interspersed with only the occasional mildly amusing gag. You find out that it scarcely has anything that resembles a plot or any real structure, and almost every single one of the characters are designed to be extremely unlikable. Triangle of Sadness doesn't just have an overly long and slow beginning section, it's an overly long and slow movie. This is bound to get better." But, unfortunately, the opposite is true. Initially, you think to yourself "no matter. Both characters are intensely irritating: again, not on its own an issue, but it's not justified sufficiently to make it worthwhile. It's clearly supposed to show how shallow rich people are, but the scene should be around two minutes and instead takes up what feels like twenty. The film starts off on the wrong foot with a long, long argument between its two protagonists. However, I can't deny that it is very well-made and acted, which saves the movie from outright badness.
Annoying, disjointed, and appallingly slow, this is one of the most unpleasant cinemagoing experiences I've had all year. The problem is that it's a complete mess. But the problem with Triangle of Sadness has nothing to do with whether or not it is good dark comedy. Generally, however, reviews have been divided, with some calling it a hilarious anti-rich romp, and some criticizing it for being shallow in its satire. There has been a lot of buzz about Triangle of Sadness, especially given that it won the prestigious Palm D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
