Film 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 2017

The 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.

The Death of Stalin review

This delicious new dark comedy comes courtesy of renowned political satirist Armando Iannucci (The Thick Of It, Veep).

The 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.

The Death of Stalin review

Armando Iannucci's superlative satire brings together a terrific ensemble.
