Well, I saw it! I'm not completely sure yet what I think, but Steve Buscemi was great. I hope he's the go-to guy for any future movies with Krushchev in them. And I was shocked by how quickly I went from hating Beria to being outraged on his behalf. When poor cadaverous Malenkov didn't want to sign the paper, and everyone kept yelling at him what about all the other guys you sent to their deaths, you don't get to stop now! But of course that's exactly why you ought to stop now.

Poor Vasily and Svetlana. :( It can't be easy when your dad is Stalin and all your dad's friends are Stalin's creepy death squad.
