The Death of Stalin

Maybe Go
The Death of Stalin is one of those films you will either love or just not get at all. The material itself is frightening, some pretty horrific real-life events happening, but performed in a way that you can’t help but laugh at, albeit with a little dread. Nightmares make more sense. Purges sweep away the unwise and unlucky, army and security forces vie for the upper hand, prison doors open and close, executions take place in broad daylight and back stabbing rules the day. This is political satire at its best.
The actors are amazingly good, especially Jeffrey Tambor as Malenkov, Steve Buscemi as Khrushchev and Jason Isaacs as Zhukov. This is an intelligent comic romp with excellent caricatures of the names you’ll know from history that will keep you laughing from start to finish whilst educating you about this period of history.
