A nice film about a billionaire with a clothing empire celebrating his 60th birthday in Greece. A film about capitalism in all its glory and inequality in the world. Partially structured as a mockumentary and smoothly edited. However, it is quite uneven and sometimes goes in all directions. Certainly funny here and there, and Steve Coogan is entertaining in the lead role.

Winter bottom

Still one of the most underrated directors, in the sense that he occasionally delivers absolute masterpieces. And this is another one, a sharp critique of the idiocy and boredom of the ultra-rich – who without exception claim to have 'worked hard' in contrast to the bitter poverty in which the people who actually did live.

Isla Fisher as the trophy wife, Asa Butterfield as the nepo baby, but Coogan naturally steals the show with his nauseating Greedy McCreadie—who serves as a model for at least half of the world's billionaires, and not just those who made their fortune in fast fashion. Very proud of his immigrant roots, to state the obvious, but on the other hand, you have to accept it. Wealth apparently correlates directly with hypocrisy, and for a billion, you can be hypocritical to the seventeenth degree if we compare it to the daily news.

Furthermore, a whole series of fine cameos and supporting roles, the majority of which are quite selfless. That, too, is something Winterbottom somehow always manages to pull off. Apparently, there are still enough people to be found who are willing to contribute to a more social and fairer society.

Pay particular attention to the end credits as well – and bear in mind that all the numbers mentioned there are now at least two to ten times more extreme.
