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.

Greed 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 2020

Greed: 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.

Why 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 2020

Steve 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.
