Stalin Audience Reviews

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
stephen-hoyland I could watch this film over and over again - why It was a TV Movie rather than a box-office smash I will never know. Robert Duvall Is absolutely flawless In his portrayal of Stalin - we're talking Oscar-deserving acting here! Roshan Seth as the creepy,selfish, arrogant Laventy Beria Is superb;Colin Jeavons as Yagoda;Jim Carter as Sergo;the great Maximilian Schell as Lenin (what fantastic make-up;I thought Lenin had been reincarnated)!The list goes on,a marvellous mix of International actors who blend beautifully to recreate the lives,times and crimes of Stalin,his entourage and his enemies,both real and Imagined. I've studied Stalin a lot over the years and this film Is about as historically accurate as one could get. This piece of pure genius Is a must-see. Absolutely fantastic In every respect!
climbingivy Stalin made by Home Box Office and MGM/Warner Brothers pictures studio mega corporation is one of the last movies made by Home Box Office that was fairly good.My main problem with Stalin is that I could not get past Robert Duvall playing Joseph Stalin.Joseph Stalin and Robert Duvall do not look anything alike at all.Why couldn't Warner Brother/Home Box Office go to Russia and search for a Joseph Stalin lookalike?You know that they have the resources to do so.I kept thinking throughout the entire movie that I was watching and listening to Robert Duvall.The settings,cinema photography and the music were gorgeous,rich to be exact, like a beautiful Russian tapestry.The movie tried but could not deliver due to Robert Duvall who was terrific in Tender Mercies.I Have This Movie on DVD.
pywalkye2 Ivan Passer made a very good job directing this "Docudrama", and everybody actress and actors give us a masterpiece. Those that do not agree shall remember that each one choose the role they want to play... They have the freedom to reject it also, so I must say "Thank you" to all the crew, you were really great. Great casting indeed. There is only one thing that is regrettable, I would like this "mini" much longer, I shall say 9 or 12 hours, maybe more. That will give much more precision in all sense in many many details in the story. And making a review of the sound, light, locations, make up, wardrobe etc. They were very good. I had a very good time seeing this movie. Duval performance is really extraordinary and unforgettable as Stalin, and Julia Ormond (Nadya), M. Schell(Lenin),J. Carter(Sergo), M.Ewan(Khrushchev),C. Jeavons (Yagoda) were most excellent.10/10
Gordon I was worried that this film would have portrayed Glorious Comrade Stalin in a bad way, but, instead, it shows him in his true glorious light: he loved his kids and he knew how to deal with counter-revolutionary traitors.Unfortunately, the movie didn't explain well enough why it was necessary to have enemies of the people like Kirov, Bukharin, Yagoda, Zinoviev and Kamenev executed.While they mentioned that Svetlana was living in England, they should have mentioned that she defected to the west like the traitor to the Motherland she was.
