The Death of Stalin

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2017)

This is a black comedy drama about the death of the Soviet dictator, Stalin, and the events that follow.
Made with a fantastic cast, none of which use false Russian accents. Though this is a slapstick comedy there are also some horrific execution scenes. It was clever in places, and a little heavy going in other places too. This probably deserves a more in-depth review that I wish I could provide.
The impression I had on leaving the cinema was the film would make a better stage play, where the actors would be confined by the narrow dimensions of a stage.
Recommended viewing.
