The Death of Stalin, review
Weighing in at a relatively sprightly 106 minutes, The Death of Stalin is a clever and accomplished movie, well worth investigating. This is Iannucci playing to his strengths as a political satirist and mostly coming up with the goods. Interesting though, that despite a script peppered with crackling dialogue, the film's funniest scene is an entirely visual one. Go figure.
Philip Caveney, Bouquets & Brickbats, 23rd October 2017The Death of Stalin review
This delicious new dark comedy comes courtesy of renowned political satirist Armando Iannucci (The Thick Of It, Veep).
Matthew Turner, i Newspaper, 19th October 2017The Death of Stalin: amusing, though not clever satire
Stalin dies, giving rise to a lot of averted eyes, thinking on one's feet and winging it in the Kremlin, in Armando Iannucci's passable screwball comedy which might aspire to satire but actually isn't so.
Paddy Kehoe, RTE, 18th October 2017The Death of Stalin review
Armando Iannucci's superlative satire brings together a terrific ensemble.
