When they get stuck on an island, the lives of a group of very wealthy individuals who are traveling aboard a luxury boat, including a star model couple, are flipped upside down.
Carl, played by Harris Dickinson, and Yaya, played by Charlbi Dean, are a married couple who both have successful professions in the fashion world. Because of Yaya's growing popularity on social media, she and her friend eventually get an invitation to go on a trip aboard a yacht. They are introduced to the other passengers, who are very wealthy people who have amassed their wealth in a variety of fields and enterprises. As the crew does all in its power to pander to the wants and preferences of its respected guests, the eccentricities of the group become more apparent during the captain's dinner. But, despite their tremendous fortune, there is nothing that can adequately prepare them for the chaos that is about to ensue.
The writing and directing of Ruben Ostlund are completely surprising at every turn, which results in some ludicrous scenes that provoke responses that range from guilty curiosity to revulsion. Nonetheless, it is difficult to take your eyes off the screen throughout this movie. The majority of the story focuses on Carl and Yaya, which is helped along by the gripping performances delivered by the whole ensemble. In their respective performances, Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean bring a welcome sense of naturalism to the table.

The tragically early passing of Dean prompts one to ponder how much of her brilliance had been left unrealized. Woody Harrelson seems well at home playing the role of the intoxicated skipper who seems as if he would rather be somewhere else. Dolly De Leon, a veteran Filipino actress, is given many opportunities to shine in the role of Abigail during a scene in which members of the crew and passengers are abandoned on a desolate island.
