👍 6.5/10

I watched the 4 hour cut of Greed having returned from San Francisco and it was very apt. The place forces you to confront trauma and hypocrisy on a daily basis. It's a disgusting mess (not the film 😅)
LIFE
Robert E. Sherwood
Ferocity, brutality, muscle, vulgarity, crudity, naked realism and sheer genius are to be found -- great hunks of them --in Von Stroheim's production, Greed. It is a terribly powerful picture -- and an important one.
Photoplay
James R. Quirk
I never entered a picture house with more anticipation and departed with greater disappointment.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The McTeagues' downfall isn't the standard self-destruction through venturing down a path of crime, but rather a familial degradation of dubiety, hatred, and desperation.
Variety
Variety Staff
The picture brings to light three great character performances by Gibson Gowland as McTeague, Jean Hersholt as the chum, and ZaSu Pitts as the wife.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
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.

Even in its severely edited form Von Stroheim's masterpiece is just that; a masterpiece.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
Mr. von Stroheim has not missed a vulgar point, but on the other hand his direction of the effort is cunningly dramatic.
Boulder Weekly
Thomas Delapa
Von Stroheim's butchered masterpiece
Nitrate Online
Dan Lybarger
Von Stroheim's groundbreaking film is still intriguing.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
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.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
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.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
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.

This version of Greed is a don't miss one --

Tim Dirks
Greed (1924) is one of the greatest silent films ever made, although the film was a box-office failure at the time. The 'lost' film masterpiece
