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!
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.

The film takes advantage of a century-old event to deal with a subject that could not be more relevant today.
This film shows in a casual and clever way the class society and at the same time presents an alternative, which only emerges through a social crisis.
It is structured like a thriller and manages to maintain a constant tension, but includes various aspects of living together as a society, without falling into a black and white thinking.
Instead of showing that the rich can't help exploiting their power and giving them some kind of legitimacy, as in films like "Triangle of Sadness", the film finds a much more clever solution without being cautionary.

And not ship wrecked on a tropical island, but stranded on a city island in an ocean of the Spanish flu. Instead of a steadfastly loyal, upstanding butler, we have a roguish, scheming cook, wheedling his way into an upper class family. Of course the comparisons only go so far, Coup is a far darker more sinister affair than the 1957 classic comedy. The social commentary presented here is apparent from the start, there is little in the way of a gentle progression as circumstances worsen.
The master to servant relationship on which the plot is hung is effective enough, but both characters have such unlikeable traits, that it may be hard to whole heartedly root for either in this war of the classes.
It's entertaining enough, but the 98 minutes runtime seemed to drag at times, the ending was well done, and satisfying, depending on your social justice standpoint I guess?

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.
