Comedy gold: The Upstart Crow reviewed
The elevated silliness of Elton's many-layered plot is superbly handled.
Lloyd Evans, The Spectator, 27th February 2020Film 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 2020Film 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 2020Upstart 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 2020Review: 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 2020Greed review
Coogan shines as a deal-driving penny-pinching bully in this pointed satire.

Alison Rowat, The Herald, 22nd 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 2020Review: 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 2020London 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.
