Greed - The Devil is in the retail

Told in mockumentary style flashbacks, we see Coogan's McCreadie making his way in the fashion world and declaring his shops 'dreadful' using various obscenities.

Film review: Greed

Despite the censoring, Greed gets its message across, and leaves you thinking about it a long time after you walk out of the cinema - food for thought indeed.

Film review: Greed

Satire sowing the rise and fall of a high street fashion gladiator. Remind you of anyone?

Film reviews: Greed

Steve Coogan and Michael Winterbottom largely manage to balance finger-wagging with rib-tickling in Greed, which explores the life and business of an amoral billionaire.

Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 24th February 2020

Review: Greed

The film isn't subtle in its approach; on the contrary, it goes in with all guns blazing and neatly obliterates its chosen targets.

Philip Caveney, Bouquets & Brickbats, 23rd February 2020

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.

Greed 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.
