[A] supremely ironic comedy on the possibility of nuclear annihilation. Full Review |
||
|
|
Perhaps Kubrick's most perfectly realised film, simply because his cynical vision of the progress of technology and human stupidity is wedded with comedy. Full Review |
||
|
5/5 |
It still features Peter Sellers' finest three performances as well as proving that the supposedly humourless Kubrick was up for a laugh. Full Review |

... like a morbidly sick Looney Tunes short with its cartoon heroes struggling impotently to keep hold of a hot potato. Full Review |

|
3.5/4 |
Dr. Strangelove's status as the movie that confirmed both Stanley Kubrick's reputation and the arrival of beat-sick irreverence can no longer be retracted. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
Kubrick nos presenteia com uma pérola de humor negro que critica acidamente as guerras e a mediocridade dos homens por trás destas. Full Review |

The funniest film ever made about nuclear holocaust... Full Review |

|
|
Like most of his work, Stanley Kubrick's deadly black satirical comedy-thriller on cold war madness and its possible effects (1964) has aged well. Full Review |

The whole thing is a bit too contemptuous of our defense system for my comfort and taste, wrote NY Times critic Crowther, showing that Kubrick's dark satire was so ahead of its time that critics didn't know what to make of it; Crowther was not alone. Full Review |

It's as startling today as it was then. Catch it now before it becomes too relevant to be funny again. Full Review |

Stanley Kubrick's blackest of black comedies. Full Review |

|
4/4 |
Stanley Kubrick's 40-year-old satirical polital-comedy about the end of the world is especially disturbing as one ponders world events at present. Full Review |

|
4/4 |
Is Dr. Strangelove Kubrick's best movie? Along with Paths of Glory, absolutely. Full Review |
||
|
4/4 |
Kubrick's great 1964 tragicomedy about superpowers on the nuclear brink continues to fascinate new generations of moviegoers, as its frequent reissues attest. Full Review |

Stanley Kubrick's first genuinely original movie has been seen, reseen, dissected, and iconized, but a few sly truths about it have yet to be fully grokked. Full Review |

|
5/5 |
A masterpiece of satire, paranoia and straight comedy. One of the all-time classics with a great cast and many memorable moments. Sellers is magnificent.
