Not Funny

Rating: 3/10 (20 June 2018)

Film, in fact,doesn't work for very simple reasons - there is no honesty in it, there is simply no artistic reason for doing this kind of movie. And, most of all - it is not funny.
Well, I don't mean to be rude, but you do a political satire about something that really bothers you, not about 70 year old event that has nothing to do with your and lives of your friends and family. Why was The Great Dictator so good? Well, because it was a movie about America in fact. Ianucci didn't learn this lesson. His style is too superficial, and too silly for these kind of tragedies. Maybe he wanted to make a black comedy (although I don't believe so), but the movie is simply too bland for that. The ending (are we supposed to be sorry for Beria, all of a sudden?) is from some other movie.
