Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Triangle of Sadness (2022)

I'm not even sure how to begin to review this one. Is it a disaster movie? A farce? A commentary on the severe imbalance of power that occurs in a capitalistic society? The answer to all of those questions is "yes, of course."

We spend about half of our time on a luxury cruise full of ultra-rich and out-of-touch passengers making ridiculous (and often nonsensical) demands of the crew. When circumstances cause the power to shift, things get really interesting and even more weird. 

Though it's definitely worth the watch, the run time is not justified. If we're ever expected to return to theaters en masse, movie lengths need to be trimmed or the intermission must make a comeback.

B+
