A way to approach a brutal subject by identifying the humor within it, while not sacrificing emotional moments. Good acting and writing too.
Hilarious and dark. Works perfectly together.
A hilarious take on the reality of the Soviet and how power was obtained.
Iannucci is the king of political satire. Massively quotable, effortlessly funny and brilliantly performed.
Death comes for the boss-of-all-bosses and the knives come out. It's a mad scramble to the top. Winner takes all!
Nutty and great to see the weaving of historic events
Shows a government made up of flawed, human people. It's extremely funny (though super dark comedy) but really grounds history in humanity.
Honestly, a hilarious movie with much drama fused with great dialogue. It does not hide the nature behind obtaining power and what it costs.
Very funny and dunks on the commies. 8/10 General Zhukov steals the show
Perfectly accurate reenactment except that probably not quite so many of the Politburo spoke with English and American accents.
