Distribution and critical reception
Love $ Greed was presented as an official entry at the Montreal World Film Festival competition.[3] This second American production for Bashar Shbib was less appreciated by some Quebec critics than his previous one, Julia Has Two Lovers.[4][5] Nevertheless, Love $ Greed was still distributed in about fifty countries.[6] Suzan Ayscough in Variety wrote "...a funny movie about lust, love and greed... (Melissa) White is a natural." Héléne de Billy in L'actualité described it as "...une histoire abracadabrante..." (...an abracadabra story...). Writing in La Presse Serge Dussault called it "Du gros rire...” ( Big laughs...).[7]
