MGMT’s extremely mid-aughts hit single, “Kids,” turns—sigh, really?—15 this year.

A movie boasting a title like The Burnt Orange Heresy seems to be begging for viewer sophistication, but this lightly engaging, low-key thriller practically dares you to treat it as serious art, in a couple of different ways.

Greed is the latest in a long tradition of cinematic partnerships between writer/director Michael Winterbottom and actor Steve Coogan where the two bring to life some particularly unsavory characters.
