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

'Dr. Strangelove' may have worked as a serious thriller, but Kubrick knew better.
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.
December 09, 2014
...a decidedly underwhelming entry within Kubrick's increasingly spotty body of work...
November 18, 2004
Stanley Kubrick's blackest of black comedies.
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.
November 05, 2004
Is Dr. Strangelove Kubrick's best movie? Along with Paths of Glory, absolutely.
November 26, 2004
This landmark movie's madcap humor and terrifying suspense remain undiminished by time.
July 14, 2016
Dr. Strangelove does what so few comedies do today: it challenges us, provokes us, unsettles us while also making us laugh.
May 13, 2014
By a whopping margin, this is Kubrick's most radical film and greatest dramatic gamble.
January 16, 2016
A slick satire of the cold war, and one that succeeds in brilliantly lampooning the hands that guide the world.
