Triangle Of Sadness (2022) - Movie Review

 

With a title like that, what could this movie possibly be about?

A Disney movie about the Bermuda Triangle dealing with its parents’ deaths?

An adaptation of Dave Gorman’s Important Astrology Experiment?

Emo porn?

 

No, the title comes from a descriptor for a part of the human face, where furrowed brows meet the top of the bridge of the nose and form a little triangle. It’s a term used a lot by plastic surgeons, who would treat such things with Botox, and it’s an interesting introduction for a film all about people who think money can fix anything and everything.

Kate (2021) - Movie Review

Usually, I would take one look at the director attached to this (Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, who also made the phenomenally unnecessary The Huntsman: Winter’s War) and be immediately sceptical about this being anywhere near the neighbourhood of worthwhile. But instead, I was actually looking forward to it because of basically every other name attached to it besides his, namely that of David Leitch’s 87North Productions. This is the studio that, along with its founders, has been pushing modern action cinema into a higher art form over the last several years, and considering star Mary Elizabeth Winstead and her own rising action cred off the back of Gemini Man and Birds Of Prey, I have enough faith in this working out. And honestly, I’d argue that this did work out.
