Last night I discovered that The Death of Stalin is on Tubi, so I finally had the chance to watch a movie that I'd heard good things about. My thoughts: what a bizarre, unique, gem of a movie. Hard to even categorize. Yes it's a comedy, but only because it accurately reflects the absurdity of Stalinist politics. It manages to be over the top while staying basically true to history. The chaos, performative grief, scheming, and backstabbing following Stalin's death is played perfectly by a cast of heavy-hitters who make it all the more farcical by playing it straight. Overall, I really liked this movie, but it's probably not for everyone. Thoughts?
