    The Death of Stalin

    ★★★½

    This comedic movie explores the chaotic scenes within the Soviet Union after Stalin's death, as his advisors race for power and control. While I found it enjoyable, I personally would have loved something more akin to "Jojo Rabbit," which effectively balances the seriousness of history with dark humour.

Being a “loner” —single — is not accepted, so those who are single are sent to hotels where they must find a partner within a specific time frame. If they fail to do so, they are transformed into an…
