This piece of garbage has been nominated for best picture?!?
Triangle of Sadness is boring, weird, and gross. And it’s mostly about a bunch of particularly gross rich people not one of whom I liked, nor could identify with.
Added in 2024: I quit watching about halfway through, and couldn't bring myself to finish it. Chris thought it was worth finishing (and did), but he still rated it last among that year's nominees.
Seriously though - the freeze frame the trailer uses is of a woman vomiting (see below).
(Pithy Reviews; and Rankings of 4 out of 10 nominees):
- Everything Everywhere All at Once (Excellent, beautiful, imaginative and utterly bizarre; Cathy: 1, Chris: 1)
- Top Gun: Maverick (Very enjoyable but not really Oscar material; Cathy: 2, Chris 2)
- Triangle of Sadness (Terrible, gross, and Cathy only watched half; Cathy: 3, Chris: 3)
