3 stars out of 5 -- Armando Iannucci has a gift for skewering incompetent authority figures – locating the humour in their bumbling errors – as well as for truly creative, foul-mouthed insults.
The Guardian
3.5 stars out of 4 -- Laugh all you want at this confederacy of political dunces, but you can't laugh them off. THE DEATH OF STALIN holds up a dark comic mirror to a world that's not hard to recognize as our own.
Rolling Stone
The comedy of cruelty is rarely funnier or more brutal than when it comes from Armando Iannucci, a virtuoso of political evisceration.
New York Times
Rating: 9/10 --
Armando Iannucci's new film is a scathing look at vile oppression, and a heap of fun as well.

[D]azzling....This is a comedy of terrors that creates laughs but doesn't let you forget that Stalin and his coterie caused the deaths of untold numbers of Soviet citizens.
Los Angeles Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- THE DEATH OF STALIN is a kind of farce, but it’s a mordant one....And Iannucci is a superb ringmaster.
RogerEbert.com
This is black humor at its blackest and best. It shoots a taproot down to our deepest humanity, and it does so, ironically enough, by revealing the hellish sources of our own inhumanity.

Product Description:
Director Armando Iannucci (Veep) depicts the power grab that ensued after Joseph Stalin died of a stroke in 1953. The Soviet Union's leaders soon dive headlong into a farcical but ruthless game of bargaining, deception, and backstabbing. Adapted from the graphic novel of the same name by FABIEN NURY AND THIERRY ROBIN. Steve Buscemi, Jeffrey Tambor, Michael Palin, and Jason Isaacs star.
