The Death of Stalin review
Some critics have questioned the use of humour in depicting this dark time in Russia's history. Isn't it in bad taste? Perhaps. Nevertheless it is a work of genius from the master of dark sardonic humour. Iannucci has triumphed again.
David Kerr, Counter Culture UK, 31st October 2017Film review: The Death Of Stalin
I'll keep this review brief because if you have good taste in comedy you will have seen The Death Of Stalin already.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 26th October 2017The 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 is easily the comedy of the year
This delightfully silly movie is an intelligent, hilarious circus crammed full of the finest people cinema has to offer.
James East, The Sun, 20th 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 - an audacious comedy of horrors
Armando Iannucci's Soviet-era satire is full of grand absurdity and violent dread.
Danny Leigh, The Financial Times, 18th 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 2017Funny Cow review - Maxine Peake blazes
Peake is hypnotically belligerent as an ambitious club performer trampling over prejudice and sticky carpets on the 1970s comedy circuit.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 11th October 2017'Funny Cow': London review
Maxine Peake is defiantly good as a Northern comic working the sexist circuit of the 1970s and 80s.
Wendy Ide, Screen Daily, 10th October 2017Funny Cow review
Adrian Shergold's edgy comedy Funny Cow exudes a certain vintage Britishness. Taking place in the 70s and 80s, atmospherically there is a tinge of EastEnders and classics like Alfie.
