7/10
This movie is kinda uneven.

The Pros

To me, the premise is hilarious - Stalin's love child.

I'm always happy to spend two hours watching Judy Davis. I think she's just great.

I saw this movie just before I got sick of seeing Sam Neil everywhere and I remember thinking he was neat.

The world of Stalin is absolutely hilarious. F. Murray Abraham pulls off a number of macabre gags with great presence.

Also, it's a wry look at political activism and some of the poses that resemble it.

The Cons

Gets boring after the first half and the premise doesn't add up to much.

Worth seeing just for the courtship of Stalin alone.
