Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
McTeague is surely a great novel, but one reason Greed is even better is that Stroheim had more lived experience to bring to the material.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
Mr. von Stroheim has not missed a vulgar point, but on the other hand his direction of the effort is cunningly dramatic.
– Mordaunt Hall,

fresh:
Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), like the Venus de Milo, is acclaimed as a classic despite missing several parts deemed essential by its creator.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
Von Stroheim's rep, after a long dormancy, has been on the rise, and this is the best evidence of his work you'll get until someone finds those lost five hours in some Ukrainian subcellar.
