In filmmaker Ruben Östlund’s (Force Majeure, The Square) wickedly funny Palme d’Or winner, social hierarchy is turned upside down, revealing the tawdry relationship between power and beauty. Celebrity model couple, Carl (Harris Dickinson) and Yaya (Charlbi Dean), are invited on a luxury cruise for the uber-rich, helmed by an unhinged boat captain (Woody Harrelson). What first appeared instagrammable ends catastrophically, leaving the survivors stranded on a desert island and fighting for survival. (R, 2h 29m)
“Don’t go in expecting art-house intellectualism. The movie is as loaded with fun as it is with social implications.” – Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal
“Brace yourself for a scathing comedy that takes aim at the wealthy and the beautiful — and tosses all decorum overboard without a life vest.” – Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups
