Comedy gold: The Upstart Crow reviewed

The elevated silliness of Elton's many-layered plot is superbly handled.

Lloyd Evans, The Spectator, 27th February 2020

Film review: Greed

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

Adam Zawadzki, The Edinburgh Reporter, 26th February 2020

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.

Upstart Crow: 'The Green-Eyed Monster' - the facts

Each episode has a theme, usually revolving around one of Will's plays, and in this series of articles our aim is to give a little more background to those and the Upstart Crow story line surrounding it, together with the facts, deliberate anachronisms, and the characters involved.

@ChasquiPenguin, A Dose Of David Mitchell, 23rd 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

Coogan shines as a deal-driving penny-pinching bully in this pointed satire.

BBC, 22nd February 2020

Greed review

Michael Winterbottom's comedy drama opens with a scene of Caroline Flack, the late television presenter, handing over a big cheque to the wealthy wife of a rich businessman while his poorly paid minions look on.

Alison Rowat, The Herald, 22nd February 2020

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.

Cath Clarke, The Big Issue, 21st February 2020

Review: Greed

As one wonders how much this film overlaps with Coogan and Winterbottom's upcoming Trip To Greece in terms of inspiration, one also wonders if the actor is keeping a little powder dry for his future #MeToo comedy-drama with Solemani on Channel 4.

Jay Richardson, Chortle, 21st February 2020

London theatre review: The Upstart Crow

This is a marvellous mash-up of the scholarly and totally ridiculous, performed by some of Britain's finest comedians and comedy actors.

Jack Hudson, London Theatre Direct, 21st February 2020
