Political farce with a lot of bite

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2018)

What a blast. Absolutely felt like a stage play. Such a wonderfully self ironic and satirical film wasnt seen in a long time in the past years.
The screenplay is absolutely fantastic - and brave. Armando Iannucci was absolutely in his element when he brought together those dysfunctional characters that try to play each other out. A great political farce in the total sense of the word. The actors were brilliantly picked. Steve Buscemi is absolutely fantastic and the perfect choice for the role he plays. I really hope this works for him as a comeback because it is really a loss for cinema not seeing him in those kind of roles anymore.
Simon Russell Beale was fantastic and unlike most things he has done before. Absolutely hilarious in a way and disgusting in another. Michael Palin's casting absolutely perfect. He fits in this film like no other, mostly because I thought there were many Monty Python references, also you could say that this could easily be a Monty Python feature.
Good support by Paddy Considine and Andrea Riseborough. Jeffrey Tambor was the best besides Buscemi and really loved every time Jason Isaacs was on screen. A winner film with a lot of potential to become a satiric classic.
