Hulu Movie Review: Triangle of Sadness

The year 2022 hopefully will not mark a new trend in the movie industry where disgusting, terrible, and stupid will be considered something that is either artistic or good. One of the 10 nominated movies for 2022 is “Triangle of Sandness”, and only because it was on Hulu, I was able to finally see this film. In summary, this movie is garbage, almost as bad as Babylon – that as I predicted was out of the theaters very quickly and did lose money. It makes absolutely no sense that a movie this bad could ever be nominated for any movie award, much less a best picture Oscar.

The story is about some rich people on a boat, there is a storm, and because of all the swaying and rocking of the boat, just about everybody who is having dinner vomits all over the dining room. Nonstop, sometimes projectile vomiting, pretty much everybody. Then there are scenes of people, especially one woman who is vomiting over a toilet bowl, and then, because of the constant rocking, she falls to the side of the bathroom and then rolls around in her own vomit. This is supposed to be entertainment of some kind? Then as the storm gets worse, all the toilets overflow, and we can all guess the nightmare of sewage that follows. Then the boat has an explosion and several people have washed ashore on some island. There are arguments between a maid who worked on the boat, her Captain, and some of the passengers. This is essentially the movie – that was voted one of the 10 best of the year. The Rotten Tomatoes rating for this horrific mess is only 71%, way too high for a film this bad.

God knows why Woody Harelson took a small role in this very bad movie. There are no other well-known actors in this embarrassment.

What is going on in 2022? A new and rapid downward trend of different and very bad being considered good. All we can all hope is that this is the last year of this very bad series of movies.

My rating for Triangle of Sadness, is 10% and a recommendation that this movie is never seen again, anywhere.
