About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense Cold War incident told with sharp, absurd humor in the vein of The Death of Stalin; Not for you if you prefer a straight, fully serious historical drama.

Pros: dark satirical humor; tense political stakes; strong performances | Cons: tone can feel mean; pacing sometimes drawn out; subtitles may blunt jokes
