This movies succeeds where it shouldn't - with someone like me who knows the actual history well. The liberties taken with the facts just don't matter, because this film is simply a truly brilliant and effective political satire.

It does exactlywhat sich afilm should do. It amuses and shocks, and brings us face to face and up close with the horrible realities, and gives us pause, even discomfort with our amusement. There is comedic genius at work.

I havenot watched a single episode of Veep to date. This film has caused me to add it to my list of things to watch. If Iannucci is only occasionally as brilliant in all those episodes as he was in this film, that will be enough to keep me watching.
