One moment, this bevy of well-off guests — a barely-minted influencer and her model boyfriend , an assertively polite older British couple , a Russian hypercapitalist , and so on — are trying to quell rising seasickness as their luxury vacation gets overtaken by a violent storm.

It matters, of course, that Captain Smith isn’t a Marxist so much as he’s an idealist who’s as self-serving as anyone else, a bitter adult for whom capitalism hasn’t quite worked out . It matters that he’s a hypocrite — that his choices are out of sync with his ideals. Östlund’s comedies, which are attempting to be satires, are powered by hypocrisies such as these.
