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.

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.

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