Armando Ianucci's THE DEATH OF STALIN (2017)

O Ianucci, could you ever fail?
The evidence so far says surely not!
And even though our thigh slaps turn to wails
Of shock and horror, watching people shot
To "keep the peace(!)", still we laugh loud and long
At yet another stunning combo: script
And perfect improv. I can only long 
For when this crew takes on the 45th
White House. Meanwhile, I think Buscemi could
Hold on with Malcolm Tucker. Some things must
Be roundly mocked, if only for the good
Of humankind. Though, when the filmic dust
Is settled, one thing would improve the lols:
If Beale and Tambour could have swapped their roles.
