The Death of Stalin was screened in the Platform section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival and received critical acclaim. It caused controversy in Russia and many other former members of the Soviet Union, and was banned in Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan.

I surprisingly really enjoyed this. I remember seeing the trailer last year, but couldn't remember any of the gags which made even better. Tambor, Buscemi and Beale killed it, and I also enjoyed Rupert Fiend and Andrea Riseborough as Stalin's kids lol. Jason Isaacs brought a nice presence to the movie aswell.
