The Death of Stalin

I LOVED this movie. Every one of the actors played their parts well and the writing is very good. Plenty of laughs throughout - almost a black comedy in many ways. 10/10

The Death Of Stalin

This satire/dark comedy is not for everyone, however I am that someone for whom this is for.
The star studded cast plays their parts fantastically.
The plot is bonkers, but at the same time believable for political state of the time.

What great, quirky and funny film. Outstanding cast with special mention to Steve Buscemi (who was absolutely brilliant in Boardwalk Empire) and Michael Pallin (who is just brilliant).

An extremely creative approach to a tense real event, transformed here into a hilarious comedy of absurdities. The film is full of agile, well-constructed dialogues and bizarre situations that are cleverly ridiculed with sarcasm, resulting in a quirky, interesting and very funny film. The performances stand out, leading the chaos naturally, balancing moments of tension and humor brilliantly.

It's ace to be able to sit for 100 minutes and watch massively talented actors have so much fun with such impressive writing.

The movie is definitely not for everyone. If the type of humor used in the movie doesn't work with you, you'll probably find the whole experience pretty weird. That's not my case, though.

The story is beautifully told and, even though I already knew how it was going to end, it managed to captivate me for the whole duration.

The cast was really well picked, with great synergy between them. The actors were able to portray the ruthlessness of their characters while making them look like fools, creating a really funny juxtaposition. The resemblance with the real people, while not perfect, was really well done, almost like a slight caricature.

Overall, a very enjoyable movie. Its 100 minutes go by very smoothly and if you don't know much( or anything) about the period around the death of Stalin it is a good way to learn about it and the players in this Soviet game of thrones.

8/10

Nearly all of the jokes had me laughing out loud (instead of just having me sharply exhale through my nose), and the writing for the dialogue, characters, and story was really well done.

It's a good comedy, a solid satire, and just a darn good movie as a whole.

Hilarious. Not historically accurate but it could have been something like that. After the death al Stalin, nobody knows what to do as they were used to obey Stalin or be killed. Just great

This film is so ridiculously silly, it really is hilarious. You need to give it your full attention though, physical humour plays a part in this movie.

Once i got over the stalinist leaders all bickering in oxford english, i had a real good time with this. Although at this particular point in time, a black comedy about bigshots who cannot afford to say what they think while trying to navigate the dysfunction of a totalitarian government that just lost its leader… I can’t help but draw some parallels to the dysfunction of a certain wannabe-totalitarian white house in its final days.
