What to Know

Critics Consensus

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a doofus with entertaining savvy in Greedy People, a shaggy crime comedy that welcomes unflattering comparisons to better examples of the genre.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian It’s not a bad premise by any means, but a noir romp, however bizarre and farcical, surely has to take place in a recognisably real world where there are plausibly real constraints on people’s behaviour. Rated: 2/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) Does it make any sense? No. But I was cracking up from scene to scene. Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News It doesn’t always work, but it more often than not hits its target, thanks to the performances and an unexpected ending. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Dave Giannini Geek Vibes Nation The film manages to be memorable, funny, thought-provoking, and leaves us with a common, but important lesson. The power of greed is nearly infinite, unless we have a higher code and do not simply accept that the world is evil and waiting to pounce. Rated: 7.5/10 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Jayne Nelson Radio Times With the majority of its main characters unlikeable, there's nobody to root for - which undoes much of the tension. Rated: 3/5 Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Roger Salvans Fotogramas It's a shame that the final result is not greater than the sum of its parts. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Joseph A P I was surprised how dark this movie was, very cool twist Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Chloe F Well written, and great acting, this was very entertaining. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Sharang L Not bad but had the potential to have been a lot better. And pray what's Gordon-Levitt doing acting in this indie flick? And that too in a not-so-memorable part.. fallen on hard times, eh.. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Farnaz W Underrated…. Not as good as Fargo, but similar dark comedy asking why bad people do bad things. Good cast & acting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Audience Member Funnier than I thought it would be! Definitely worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Andy C I personally thought it was a well acted well thought out film.love the way the story turns you against certain characters and builds to an unexpected end😊 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
