‘Death Of Stalin’ was one of the best I’ve seen since ‘Wag The Dog’.
Dark, dark, dark, but Jason Isaacs as Zukhov is brilliant. Loved watching Beria get capped.
Jason Issacs is like Gary Oldman, an absolute chameleon.
Death of Stalin (2017) is great.
87.6 percent of people who liked Death of Stalin also liked Chernobyl (2019), which I’m guessing many freepers have seen, and Dear Comrades! (2020), which I’m guessing most have not yet seen:

There are quite a few good films on the U.S.S.R., communism and the Cold War, but looking specifically at new releases, I have not yet found a good 2021 movie to add to the list — although stretching just a bit, there is Train to Busan, which is clearly a thinly veiled critique of modern woke cancel culture:

The action is cleverly shifted from the Harvard or Yale campus to a train in Korea, but the behavior of “the infected” mirrors precisely what we see from modern woke social justice warriors. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I think I will come back as a movie critic in my next life.
