The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinAug 1, 2024
Although Coup! has a small cast and unfolds mostly in a secluded mansion during the 1918 influenza pandemic, it packs a lot of flavor, suspense and droll comedy into its slim 97-minute running time, making it fun enough to deserve an exclamation point in its title. Read full review

St. Louis Post-DispatchKatie WalshAug 15, 2024
Anchored by its leads, Coup! is a tasty morsel of social commentary about problems that continue to plague our world. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeAug 1, 2024
This is quick, nippy entertainment that raises plenty of sociopolitical talking points without digging too deep into any of them. Read full review

Although the milieu of “Coup!” speaks allegorically to the pandemic of our own century, it does so softly; the movie is ultimately more a tale of class warfare than public health. Read full review

The film has little to add on the subject of the interplay of politics and infectious disease, then or now. Read full review

IndieWireChristian BlauveltAug 1, 2024
Coup! isn’t objectionable for its politics, it’s objectionable for trying to deny them. Unless its politics are just that muddled, and then Stark and Schuman have no idea at all how to express whatever it is they’re trying to say. Read full review

The New York TimesNatalia WinkelmanAug 1, 2024
This implication that virility trumps effeteness is, amid an otherwise straightforward comedy, an uncomfortably regressive way to tell the story of how people vie for power in hard times. Read full review
