Watch The Death of Stalin For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Best movie ever!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Nothing better than stumbling on a movie like this one without having a clue what it's going to be. I thought it was going to be a political movie about the life of Stalin, with cruel images and a dark sad story. But the truth is that it was quite the opposite, it's about Stalin, it's about that cruel passage in history, but it's satirical. I should have guessed it though when I saw the cast, with Paul Whitehouse (The Fast Show), with Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), with Michael Palin (The Monty Python), and with Steve Buscemi (Fargo, The Big Lebowski). They are all actors that at one point made me laugh so hard. The Death Of Stalin, with such a great cast, is just hysterical at some points if you can get the paranoia those people lived in at that time, where you had to watch out for every single word you said, or for every opinion you had. In this movie it's just about that, the fear of doing or thinking something against the regime. So to me The Death Of Stalin was a pleasant surprise and I could only recommend it to anybody that likes satire.

"The Death of Stalin" is a fantastic satirical comedy, the beautifully British dry humour booms and creates an incredibly engaging two hours. The cast was fantastic, not one badly acted part in the film and everyone fit the role perfectly, Steve Buscemi was a highlight of mine, bringing his own strange way to the character. It flew under my radar on release, however I believe the film to now be one of my favourite comedies of all time.

I'm a fan of black comedy. This is the blackest I've ever seen, and I didn't laugh once. In other words, it's not "Springtime for Hitler" or "Brazil" funny. I nonetheless enjoyed it immensely since I took Russian for a while, traveled to the Soviet Union in 1976 and consider myself rather well informed about the subject matter.It's really black, not a good date movie, but one for history buffs. Emotionally tough ones.

I see a lot of criticism about how it's not historically accurate, it's not a history lesson it's satire and black comedy. An amusing film and intelligent film in an era of dumb down comedy movies.
