Stanley Kubrick's blackest of black comedies.

By a whopping margin, this is Kubrick's most radical film and greatest dramatic gamble.

Dr. Strangelove does what so few comedies do today: it challenges us, provokes us, unsettles us while also making us laugh.
January 26, 2006
Perhaps Kubrick's most perfectly realised film, simply because his cynical vision of the progress of technology and human stupidity is wedded with comedy.

'Dr. Strangelove' may have worked as a serious thriller, but Kubrick knew better.

Is Dr. Strangelove Kubrick's best movie? Along with Paths of Glory, absolutely.
January 16, 2016
A slick satire of the cold war, and one that succeeds in brilliantly lampooning the hands that guide the world.

This landmark movie's madcap humor and terrifying suspense remain undiminished by time.

The pre-eminent satire of cold-war paranoia, Dr. Strangelove is a hilarious and harrowing fable of systemised madness.
May 08, 2007
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.
