A stinging satire of the obscenely wealthy adrift at sea, the latest film from director Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure) took home the Palme d’Or at Cannes. A gorgeous and glamorous influencer couple, both models, are invited via Instagram to join a motley crew of idle rich on a super yacht. When disaster strikes, class distinctions capsize in its wake and everyone fights like hell to survive. Woody Harrelson, playing a captain without an internal compass, joins an international cast in this darkly comic parade of shamelessness.
“As always with Östlund, his most profligate flights of fancy tack close enough to reality to ring queasily true.” — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post
