Rated Triangle of Sadness 6/10

Having the decedent rich in the same environment as the working class as a social allegory about wage gaps and class warfare is a popular storytelling device nowadays.  While there’s plenty of meat left on that bone, it is starting to feel tiresome.  Ostlund introduced his own absurd spin but the same points are still there, albeit clumsily portrayed.  Wish there was more focus on one of the 3 acts, instead of what we got, which felt like 3 different movies once it was done.   Still interesting to skewer the ultra rich on how their wealth shields them from common decency, courtesy, and sense. However the working class were treated as if their only flaw was lack of opportunity.  The vague ending left me scratching my head instead of thinking this was an artistic choice.
