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.

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.

Greed review

Michael Winterbottom and Steve Coogan reteam for an enjoyable but insufficiently scathing satire.

Steve Coogan's satire of the filthy rich is torn between lecturing and sniggering.

Greed review - Steve Coogan gleams in knockabout satire

Michael Winterbottom's entertaining mockumentary about a high-street fashion tycoon presents a hideous carnival of obscene wealth, vanity and moral squalor.

Review: Stan & Ollie

Long gone are the days of the noughties rom-com and Jon S. Baird's charming biopic, Stan & Ollie, proves that the best way to warm our hearts is through the bromance comedy.

Stan & Ollie review from Mark Kermode

Steve Coogan and John C Reilly excel in this bittersweet film about the twilight years of the great double act.

Film review: Stan And Ollie

While it's a shame that Reilly has not had a BAFTA nod - the Oscars might balance things of course - maybe this film is more of a landmark for Coogan. It might just be the first time he has played a role onscreen where there is no hint whatsoever of Alan Partridge in the performance.

Review: Stan & Ollie

This is an adorable film, sweetly melancholic, bathed in the golden (syrupy) light of a tender friendship. It will surely be a shoo-in for Christmas or Boxing Day TV for years to come.
