Critics Consensus: Stanley Kubrick's brilliant Cold War satire remains as funny and razor-sharp today as it was in 1964.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

The result is one of the funniest films ever made, Kubrick’s most unequivocal commentary, and perhaps cinema’s most disturbing take on the illusion of our control.

For me at any rate farce makes the theme of Dr. Strangelove not only more bearable, but also more believable. After all it is difficult to accept Doomsday unless as a monstrous joke.

Judith Crist

Dr. Strangelove is irreverent to a point of savagery; it is funny and it is engrossing. And it’s heady stuff for movie-goers, for Kubrick, boy genius that he is, assumes that we’re grown-up enough to share his bitter laughter.

Successful and timeless satire is quite a rare and tricky beast. “Dr. Strangelove” is and will forever remain one of the finest movies (of any genre) ever produced.

Probably Kubrick's biggest gamble, resulted in a classic that has aged finely. [Full review in Spanish]
