 Östlund's film is quite entertaining but it tremendously recalls Parasite without reaching its heights.

 At times funny and irreverent but repetitive and with very slow rhythms that make an appealing and cunning work lose its bite.

The review critiques Ruben Östlund's Triangle of Sadness as a sharp satire targeting superficial Western society and capitalism. While entertaining, it lacks the originality and genius of comparable films like Parasite. The narrative is divided into three parts with notable but uneven impact. The film’s slow pace and repetition dilute its critical bite, leading to a sense of missed opportunity. Explore the sharp social satire of Triangle of Sadness—watch it now and join the conversation on capitalism and culture.
