The Death of Stalin review

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2020)

Hugely enjoyable satire that recounts the political intrigue and settling of scores that arose in the wake of the death of Joseph Stalin in 1950s Soviet Russia. The decision to allow actors to use their real accents is a curious one that nevertheless adds to the chaotic, semi-surreal atmosphere. The humour is as black as it comes and relentless, and the entire cast rise to the occasion. Very, very funny at times.
