Carl and Yaya, professional models and a couple, join a luxury cruise for the ultra-rich. However, when the yacht is struck by a series of calamities, the tables are turned. Ruben Östlund's darkly comic satire pokes fun at the rich, particularly their vanity and entitlement. The rich are a low hanging fruit, but Östlund's script is clever and often very funny. The central set piece on the yacht during a storm, when almost everyone gets sick, is hilarious and wonderfully directed.
