Was rather splendid. Manages to maintain a tone that allows for black humour but also gives an idea of the terror when saying almost anything could be taken the wrong way. Great performances, particularly from Simon Russell Beale and Steve Buscemi. The music is brilliantly done, and integral to setting both the mood, and in some ways to the plot. The most outrageous parts of the plot are all true.
The writer/director Armando Iannucci was incredibly charming at the Q&A in front of an audience that were obviously huge fans of his work. His next film that he is working on is David Copperfield.
