EditThe Death of Stalin (2017)

One of the funniest and most distinctive political satirists of our time has finally returned to the big screen, with a lacerating look at the regime of an overweight bully who demands unthinking loyalty and expects reality to conform to his every dictum. We're speaking, of course, about Joseph Stalin: Having skewered 21st-century White Houses in Veep and In the Loop, Armando Iannucci got out before reality made his invented stupidities and outrages unremarkable. Fortunately for him and for moviegoers, pettiness, vanity and infighting are constants among those in search of power. (The Hollywood Reporter)
