Giles Hardie Sydney Morning Herald Triangle is lots of violent fun for those who like... violent fun. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 29, 2010 Full Review Derek Elley Variety The film only makes some kind of sense on its own fantastic level. Nov 10, 2009 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard The whole film is smart cinema. I wouldn't be surprised if Smith didn't land up with a contract in Hollywood. Rated: 3/5 Oct 20, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews An erratic yet ultimately rewarding time-travel tale... Rated: 3/4 Apr 6, 2016 Full Review Jason Di Rosso MovieTime, ABC Radio National The film would have been better served by a stronger sense of the metaphor it was trying to construct, but as it is, the unravelling of the puzzle is underwhelming. Apr 30, 2010 Full Review Alicia Malone FILMINK (Australia) A tense and interesting psychological thriller. Apr 30, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Gabriel W The film is good and the twists are good. What prevented this from being a 4/5 for me is that they allow Jess to technically know so much but utilize that info so little. * SPOILERS * The idea of the film is that Jess is in a loop. Yet Jess's memory seems to be defined as "whatever the movie plot wants it to be" she remembers killing Victor 5 minutes ago but she doesn't remember killing the masked shooter 30 minutes ago. Jess kills the killer with an axe, then she becomes the killer and gets killed with the axe in the exact same way. Jess takes the taxi to the dock, obviously knowing her son is dead and that she is in a loop. Yet then at some point she seems to forget that all. They aren't consistent with memory and intentions, which is what made me so mad during parts of the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Alex G This movie is terrible, it's so confusing it made my head hurt. Whoever said it was good doesn't know what a good movie is. Please save your time and pick something else. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review bryce b A complete and utter waste of time literally just repeats for her dumb dead son he's gonna die again anyways. Why not break the cycle. Main character stupid doesn't learn, zero character arc and nothing ever happens just a recycled repeat movie where half the scenes are the same. If it had an end it would be good but it never ends. Wack in fact super wack l son rip bozo And Ralph R, your review is wrong movie is as bad as your review, tf are you talking about, you must like watching your wife get adam smashed and forever edge. Actual loser lock in and watch denzel washington or sum, bum Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Ralph R Triangle is a fascinating and complex psychological thriller that leaves you with more questions than answers, even on a rewatch. The first act draws you in with its eerie setup at the docks, though the lack of introduction to the characters, particularly Jess, makes it harder to emotionally connect. The film transitions quickly into the action, sacrificing character depth for the sake of pacing. The themes are intriguing, and the visual effects hold up surprisingly well, especially for what seems to be a low-budget film. The cinematography avoids overused horror tropes like shaky cams, favoring subtle perspective shifts that enhance the story’s tension. The script, while serviceable, leans heavily on the intricate storyline to provide depth. The second act dives into the time-loop concept, but with limited character exploration, the repeated deaths lack emotional impact. The paradox at the heart of the story is compelling but leaves gaps that can feel like plot holes. The film hints at answers but never fully resolves them. Overall, Triangle is an engaging and thought-provoking watch. Its strengths lie in its concept and execution, though its lack of character development and unanswered questions might leave some viewers frustrated. A movie worth revisiting for its layered narrative, even if it doesn’t provide all the answers. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Kyle C This is a movie that gets better the longer you think about it. The first act feels sloppy initially, but in hindsight, it’s actually quite clever and tight. There are a lot of subtle details that hint at an overarching explanation of everything, but it’s abstract enough to keep you thinking and make you feel pretty smart for figuring it out. Apart from some wonky effects (presumably due to budgetary constraints) and a little bit of awkward dialogue, Triangle is a killer thriller with a lot more to say than it initially seems. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Keyana M This movie is so delectable. SPOILER ALERT: It gets a little frustrating because the main character, Jess, makes absolutely no effort to break the time loop and does everything exactly the same as the Jess that came before her, KNOWING THAT SHE LITERALLY GOT THROWN OFF THE BOAT. Other than that the movie is really good and Liam Hemsworth is hot af with that buzz cut 10/10 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
