So, 'Not About Stalin' is this intriguing documentary that dives deep into the roots of Stalinism. It feels almost like a puzzle, as the filmmakers dissect not just the political side, but the psychological and social threads woven into Russian history. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, switching between past footage and present-day analysis, but it all adds to that feeling of unease and contemplation. The atmosphere is heavy—there's a real weight to the way they present the material, almost forcing you to think about the implications. It’s not just a history lesson; it gets you to question how these ideas persist today. Some of the practical effects, especially in the archival footage, have a raw quality that enhances the viewing experience.
