It's ace to be able to sit for 100 minutes and watch massively talented actors have so much fun with such impressive writing.

I was hoping it would be a little more funny. There weren't a lot of laughs. Acting was fine. I was bored for most of it and it lost my attention for most of the movie.

The movie is definitely not for everyone. If the type of humor used in the movie doesn't work with you, you'll probably find the whole experience pretty weird. That's not my case, though.

The story is beautifully told and, even though I already knew how it was going to end, it managed to captivate me for the whole duration.

The cast was really well picked, with great synergy between them. The actors were able to portray the ruthlessness of their characters while making them look like fools, creating a really funny juxtaposition. The resemblance with the real people, while not perfect, was really well done, almost like a slight caricature.

Overall, a very enjoyable movie. Its 100 minutes go by very smoothly and if you don't know much( or anything) about the period around the death of Stalin it is a good way to learn about it and the players in this Soviet game of thrones.

8/10

The Thick Of It: the Russian Edition! Great script, wonderful dialogue, and talented playing by the accomplished cast. Funny, to be sure, but some of the comedy is offset by the ugliness of the real life events and characters that form the basis of the film.

Decent black comedy that requires some historical knowledge and flexibility from viewer.

Didn’t actually make me laugh… it was watchable but nothing more.

Nearly all of the jokes had me laughing out loud (instead of just having me sharply exhale through my nose), and the writing for the dialogue, characters, and story was really well done.

It's a good comedy, a solid satire, and just a darn good movie as a whole.

What great, quirky and funny film. Outstanding cast with special mention to Steve Buscemi (who was absolutely brilliant in Boardwalk Empire) and Michael Pallin (who is just brilliant).

I LOVED this movie. Every one of the actors played their parts well and the writing is very good. Plenty of laughs throughout - almost a black comedy in many ways. 10/10

Wasn't as funny as I expected? Felt really long despite being 100 minutes. There was a log funny moments but it also felt like there was a lot of filler and downtime inbetween.

An interesting, but somewhat worrying docudrama look at the United Kingdom if Comrade Corbyn ever came to power.

One of the most unfunny and pathetic films I've seen in a long time, absolutely thumbs down as far as I'm concerned...
