The Death of Stalin (2017)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The Death of Stalin (2017)

Post by Leisher »

Buscemi, Tambor, and Palin lead a cast of character actors portraying the aftermath of Stalin's death as a comedy, but not.

I had one laugh out loud moment, some chuckles, but was most mostly interested in watching how this story played out.

The vibe of the movie is like if Clue fucked that a political thriller.

Don't expect the chuckles the advertising claims, but it's worth seeing once. However, you need to be in the mood for a smart, political comedy/drama. For me, it sat in my queue for around 25 days before I finally broke down and watched it.
