Greed review
The main emotion when you leave the cinema at the end of Greed might well be surprise that there's not a posse of lawyers running in with an injunction on behalf of billionaire Sir Philip Green.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 21st February 2020Greed shows a darker side to the lifestyles of the rich
Steve Coogan and Michael Winterbottom's Greed may be set in a rich man's world, but behind the superyachts there's a serious message.
Cath Clarke, The Big Issue, 21st February 2020Greed review
The result is a genuinely thought-provoking commentary on the global inequalities between ultra-wealthy high street bosses and the textile workers in developing countries.
Linda Marric, The Mirror, 21st February 2020In this instance, greed isn't good: Greed reviewed
The most convincing performance of the film are Steve Coogan's new teeth.
Deborah Ross, The Spectator, 21st February 2020Greed review
A ghoulish Caroline Flack cameo only punctuates the poor judgement of Michael Winterbottom's glossy farce.
Ed Cumming, The Independent, 21st February 2020Greed review: a smart satire of the super-rich
Steve Coogan stars in Michael Winterbottom's exploration of corrosive capitalism, Greed.
Rosie Fletcher, Den Of Geek, 20th February 2020Greed review
A dismally disappointing effort that lacks the nerve to really go after its targets with any gusto.
Steven Sheehan, The Digital Fix, 19th February 2020Greed: review
Greed is crude and uneven. But it is also a very funny film about a stratum of society which deserves every opportunity to be mocked. It also focuses on a very serious issue that deserves every opportunity to be altered.
Christopher Shrimpton, The Upcoming, 18th February 2020Why Hollywood can't make its mind up about billionaires
Steve Coogan's take on Philip Green is the latest in a long list of tycoons portrayed on screen, ranging from corrupt tax avoiders to smouldering heroes.
Steve Rose, The Guardian, 17th February 2020Steve Coogan and Michael Winterbottom on Greed
The actor and director's business satire takes aim at the disgraced retail mogul Philip Green. They talk about celebrity, hypocrisy and showbiz moralising.
