Distribution and critical reception
Love $ Greed was presented as an official entry at the Montreal World Film Festival competition. This second American production for Bashar Shbib was less appreciated by some Quebec critics than his previous one, Julia Has Two Lovers. Nevertheless, Love $ Greed was still distributed in about fifty countries. 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...).
