Triangle of Sadness (2022) Review!!

Synopsis – A fashion model celebrity couple join an eventful cruise for the super-rich. My Take – Given that it won the prestigious Palm D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, there has been a lot of buzz around Force Majeure (2014) and The Square (2017) writer-director Ruben Östlund‘s latest.
