This movie was being discussed on the radio.

 

Rupert Friend plays Stalin. He played Prince Albert in "Young Victoria".

I'm seeing this movie tomorrow. It played in the UK a year ago, and my friend, whose taste I respect, liked it a lot. It got a very favorable review from Anthony Lane, a rather discerning critic, in this week's New Yorker. Great cast: Michael Palin as Molotov, Steve Buschemi as Krushchev. Rupert Friend plays Stalin's son, Vasily. Stalin is played by

Adrian McLoughlin (who I don't know, but I have Anthony Lane's review in front of me).
