“Greed” has so many layers of social commentary packed into it that it almost seems to spill over. The movie attempts to address numerous current issues, such as the self-centeredness and wrongdoings of extremely wealthy individuals, the lavish nature of the fashion world, the mistreatment of workers in factories, and the struggles faced by those seeking refuge. While these subjects are plentiful, the film remains consistently engaging. The story centers on Sir Richard McCreadie (Steve Coogan), a billionaire retail executive who embodies foolishness and self-obsession—a very fitting antagonist for our era. He’s organizing an extravagant 60th birthday celebration on Mykonos, Greece, where cost is irrelevant when it comes to things like proper silverware, a gathering of prominent celebrities, top-quality food, and even a custom-made replica of the Roman Colosseum with a gladiator contest involving a live lion. The narrative develops a sense of moral indignation that grows increasingly somber as this somewhat satirical tale takes a tragic turn, and the writing is sharp and amusing while screenwriter (and director) Michael Winterbottom directly confronts Western capitalism. Even though it has a very gratifying conclusion and clearly intends to do good, “Greed” doesn’t quite have the impact it might—or perhaps should—have. It's unsettlingly believable.
