Critics Consensus

A satire that keeps its knives sharpened, Coup! is a satisfying and swift meal served up with a sly Peter Sarsgaard performance as a garnish.

Anchored by its leads, “Coup!” is a tasty morsel of social commentary about problems that continue to plague our world.

A tiresome self-satisfied tone that is made a fair bit more tolerable by Sarsgaard’s juicy lead performance.

Arizona Republic

A dark comedy about class warfare, government overreach and infectious disease. It’s a lot more fun than that sounds.

Rated: 3.5/5

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

It's inviting us to laugh at the elite who claim they care but actually perpetuate the same cycles they rally against, soothing their souls with words not action.

A delightful change of pace (I did not search a remake). Best I've seen of Sarsgaard since The Skelton Key. I didn't not to spoil my viewing, but Google NYC/America in 1918 to get a background... I will in hindsight.
