3/4
Anchored by its leads, “Coup!” is a tasty morsel of social commentary about problems that continue to plague our world. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com 08/02/2024
2/4
A tiresome self-satisfied tone that is made a fair bit more tolerable by Sarsgaard’s juicy lead performance. Go to Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic 08/02/2024
3.5/5
A dark comedy about class warfare, government overreach and infectious disease. It’s a lot more fun than that sounds. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 12/21/2024
The spirited, lightly underplayed performances make Coup! worth a look. Go to Full Review Calum Baker Radio Times 12/21/2024
3/5
Holding the film together, though, is Sarsgaard, whose riveting and nuanced turn brings some heart to this broad caricature. Go to Full Review Peter Canavese Celluloid Dreams 11/19/2024
2.5/4
Pleasantly grandiose, but deeply cynical social satire, ultimately redeemed by its two lead performances. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kim 08/08/2024 Nice little thriller with twist at the end. See more Roslyn 08/07/2024 Kinda of a slow starter, but ultimate engagement. Glad I went. See more Gary G @RT14530993 08/04/2024 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. See more Barry 08/03/2024 Nice to see a movie with an original thoughtful script and production. So many retreads and sequels nowadays. See more joseph O 08/03/2024 well done, very entertaining See more Debra 08/03/2024 Irony was the best message. Never judge someone based on an assumption! See more Read all reviews
