Alicia I love this movie so much
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
reynoldsdavid-96676 Hilariously funny, amazing talented cast. Death of Stalin is one of the best examples of how to make a dark comedy work. Steve Buscemi is amazing as Nikita Kruszhev and deserves an award for his work.
bad-boy-lawrence "The Death of Stalin" is a fantastic satirical comedy, the beautifully British dry humour booms and creates an incredibly engaging two hours. The cast was fantastic, not one badly acted part in the film and everyone fit the role perfectly, Steve Buscemi was a highlight of mine, bringing his own strange way to the character. It flew under my radar on release, however I believe the film to now be one of my favourite comedies of all time.
White_Prophet I understand that this kind of humor works for many people, but unfortunately I am not one of them. I may have chuckled a few times, and I did like Jason Isaacs quite a bit when he made his appearance, but overall I didn't enjoy this movie at all. I do not think it's a bad film- I understand the political satire and the intent of the humor, it just wasn't quite my tempo. I knew that this wasn't a movie for me from the first 15 minutes, so I do applaud myself for being patient enough to actually see it through 'til the end.
g_venturi I liked some of the previous Iannuci's work. After watching the trailer, and the reading the original French graphic novel, I went to see the movie with relatively high expectations. On the bright side, I really like the photography, makeup and costumes. Good work there. On the not-so-bright side, I was not convinced with the choices of the director with regards to the acting and script. The English/American regional accents did not make sense for this movie. The dialogue was not believable in a Russian seeing. I could not believe the Russian oligarchs would act like a bunch of teen-agers at the dinner in the opening scenes. Zero suspension of disbelief! Worst of all, it was not funny to watch.
