Best part about being dumb is watching historical movies. I had no idea what was gonna happen after Stalin died.

robyMar 1, 2018Poking fun at the regime of fear created by one of the fiercest Dictatorships in world history. As a Russian history buff with a degree in Political Science, I really enjoyed the dark and dry humour that writer and director Armando Lannucci pulled out of the political…

Great humor. Does a good job telling the story of what happened without being boring. Great soundtrack as well.
beric likedThe Death of StalinWalking out of the theater, I thought it was great. Sadly my whole family hated it so I was outvoted
Jade Gould lovedThe Death of StalinOne of my favourite films - the ensemble cast is great, the wit is dry and gives a very human view of a specific point in history.

James Pritchard lovedThe Death of StalinThe greatest entrance ever in cinema by Jason Isaacs. Hilarious moments like planes over speech. The power struggle between the players was wild, went very quickly. Perhaps I underestimate how cool military is. I didn’t recognise Michael Palin at all.

7.5/10
Jacob Hall likedThe Death of StalinTakes a chaotic moment in history and makes it even more chaotic and funny. Everyone was amazing but Rupert Friend was perfect. Also wish Kurylenko had more scenes I thought she was underused
Xero is "meh" onThe Death of Stalin6/10. This movie wasn’t very funny at all and I found it quite boring as well. If you want a satirical movie about a tyrant that’s worth watching, watch “The Interview” instead.

Buscemi is magnificent, but all the players rise to the occasion; you may especially cherish Rupert Friend (“Homeland”) as Stalin’s demented alcoholic son Vasily and Olga Kurylenko (“Quantum of Solace”) as pianist Maria Yudina, the film’s elegant and only note of genuine conscience.
Ty Burr
Boston Globe
Iannucci’s brand of political satire is applied to one of the darkest chapters in modern history, with sensational results. The Lives Of Others with laughs, it’s farcical, frightening and a timely reminder that things could always be worse.
Nick de Semlyen
Empire
Like Orwell on helium, this reimagining of Stalin’s demise and the subsequent ideological gymnastics of his scheming acolytes is daring, quick-fire and appallingly funny.
