The Death of Stalin (2018)

The "beloved" Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin falls ill and dies while his Council literally fights to seize power over his dead body. As I've mentioned before, history is a weak spot for me, so I've no idea if there was any accuracy here. That said, I do understand movies and it's clear that the goal of this one was to deliver pitch-black humor and it doesn't get anywhere close. It's a shame since the cast is strong and game. 

I mean, we get it. People who've enjoyed power don't want to give it up. It's ugly and gross and -- as handled here -- seriously unfunny.
