The Death of Stalin

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
