After fighting for the government during World War I somemembers of the lower class are not willing to be ignored during the flu epidemic. Others hope to launch a oolitical career from it. Coup is a satirical commentary about how class predetermines our destinies - even during pandemics. Something that is not new to the 21st Century. It was described as a comedy, but it's anything but funny. It was also described as a suspenseful thriller. That fits wth the prevailing sense of doom that pervades the film and the audience knows nothng good is coming. It also delves into the issues of fake news, which apparently is not new. The characters are a unique range of personalities who are all engaging. Peter Sarsgaard plays the roled to perfection.

A friend told me I must see this one, so I rented on a whim, went in with zero expectations. And what a treat this movie was. Somewhere between comedy and thriller, Coup's tone is one I'd call anarchic. You see that tone in the script, the music, and in all the performances (Skarsgard is really strong here). Don't want to spoil anything. So suffice to say, the story had me rooting for one character only to pull the rug out in a way I never saw coming. Thank you Lilly for recommending this to me. And returning the favor, I'm recommending Coup! To anyone reading this. Especially if you're into films like The Menu, you'll love Coup!

This is a movie that deserves much more than the current 6.something rating. I can only assume that the rating has been reduced due to low IQ and poorly versed people (i.e. Trumpers) that rated it. Great movie for people that are able to think. This is a movie that deserves much more than the current 6.something rating.

It is 1918 and the world is at war. Floyd Monk (Peter Sarsgaard) is a wannabe revolutionary who complains that the Spanish Flu is killing more people than the war. He argues for a full shutdown which can be seen as treasonous. He becomes a chef in a large estate on an island. The owner Jay Horton (Billy Magnussen) and his wife Julie (Sarah Gadon) have two young children. Jay insists on not killing anything and being vegetarian. Floyd keeps stirring up conflicts as he hides from the authorities. Sarsgaard is great and playful. This story has a new resonance after COVID. The black humor doesn't always work. The story is a little rambling and a bit disconnected. I would like the servants to be more specific. The wife needs an extra scene or two. This is interesting although it does need something more.

Generally invited in the shadow of the epidemic changing standards and criteria in society, the film did not participate in anything except the concept of imbalance. So I think the parallelism of the societal imbalance with the imbalance of some events in the film is justified. There is light comedy and from there it moves to dark drama to remind people of the events of Covid and what happened in the minds while taking into account the time period. This is all that is good. Cons: The ending isn't perfect. Some of the character motivations and transformation were rushed. -Slow paced and small world I love this atmosphere.

What if the class structures of the early 1900s, which aren't really that much different than they are today, were isolated and broken down bit by bit? The movie Coup! Attempts to do just that, taking its eccentric cast of characters on an adventure through anarchy, madness, and self-discovery. Can it successfully blend this heavy message with its wit and charm? Whether you enjoy the humor in this film or not, Coup! Is certainly an interesting look at class structure and how that structure can break down, given the right circumstances. It is a film with a lot to say and is able to say it rather well, mostly due to the talent of the cast. Clocking in at a crisp 90 minutes, and assuming you beheaded my warning about the humor and tone, you will not regret spending an hour and a half with these colorful characters.

Jaunty class-war drama "Coup" has a decent premise & good performances, but its main characters are all so dislikable that it fails to hold attention. As the 1918 Spanish Flu bites, well-to-do journo Billy Magnussen secretly flees with wife Sarah Gadon & kids to his island country estate, pretending to still be in NY as he lambasts the govt to fuel his own political ambitions... til mysterious new chef Peter Sarsgaard stokes ill-feeling among his staff & family, as the 'plague' starts to grip the island, and the poop hits Magnussen's fan. Co-writers / co-directors Austin Stark & debutant Joseph Schuman offer an interesting analogy... but it just isn't interesting nor engaging enough.

Weird, dark, and fun is how I'd describe this one. It shows a microcosm of society using a family and their servants holed up during the Spanish Flu. It's satirization of performative activists and limousine liberals feels on point. Peter Sarsgaard makes interesting choices in all of his films, and he does it again playing a charming scumbag of a cook. Billy Magnussen, while not given the same juicy role, does a great job as well playing a writer / aspiring politician, who feels very familiar in the Covid-era where we all had to suffer through the "Imagine" celebs. Overall, it's a fun watch, not a broad comedy, but I did find myself laughing a number of times.

I saw Coup!, starring Peter Sarsgaard-The Batman_2022, The Magnificent Seven_2016; Billy Magnussen-No Time To Die, As the World Turns_tv; Sarah Gadon-Ferrari, Dracula Untold and Faran Tahir-Escape Plan, Iron Man. This is a movie about class war. A coup is usually when a group of people overthrow another group of people, usually concerning governments. The story takes place in 1918 as Peter shows up at a wealthy mansion that needs a new cook. The plague has hit and good workers are getting hard to find. Billy is the rich writer that occupies the house with his wife, Sarah. Faran is another employee working for Billy. The employees all live in a separate house from the big mansion and Peter doesn't like that so he starts doing things to change who has control of all the power in the house. It has an NR rating but contains language, smoking and sexual content-including partial nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 38 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD but it would be alright to stream.

An apparent drifter appears to kill someone to take his identity and his new job. The job is as chef to a private family living on an island , isolating during the Spanish flu. He slowly takes over the entire family... The story is a fun one with enough twists and turns to keep all the theorists happy, enough action for the excited among us, a pinch of romance and a dash of injustice. It flows perfectly and I was never bored throughout. Great performances from everyone and lovely to to see Sarah Gadon again. Peter Skarsgaard is I would say easily as good if not better than his father. He owns this role perfectly and Sarah Gadon transforms from meek wife, to daring young woman, and back to meek wife in the blink of an eye. While it's not sheer fright and neither will you belly laugh at it it is a bundle of fun and I really enjoyed it. I gave it a solid 6.
