Film after film: Triangle of Sadness (dir. Ruben Östlund, 2022)
I was surprised by how polarizing this film seemed upon its premiere at Cannes Film Festival, where it won Palme d'Or - I'm referring to a scathingly hostile review at IndieWire. I loved it throughout, together with its over-the-top satiric bite. The story, neatly divided into three parts, is centered around money and privilege, the latter of which those who have the former notice and describe differently. It's a lavish film, with gesture, acting, props (the ship! the island!), and vomit.

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
Triangle of Sadness has an early scene, lasting a few minutes, where cameras are flashing constantly from all directions. The opening NEON production company logo has a strobe effect. A few scenes are lit by flickering campfires at night.
Scenes taking place on a rocking and tilting ship may be disorienting.
Flashing Lights: 8/10. Motion Sickness: 4/10.
TRIGGER WARNING: An entire sequence is filled with excessive on-screen vomiting, with a couple of minutes of warning as people get seasick. During this sequence, we hear the sound of violent diarrhea for about half a minute. An extended gross-out gag involves a massive overflow of a sewage system. The sounds of an animal in pain are heard repeatedly in one scene.
