Filmmaker Slava Tsukerman examines the life and ultimate fate of Nadezhda Alliluyeva, the Soviet dictator's second spouse.

Kenneth Turan

Los Angeles Times

An intimate, chatty film, both cheeky and thorough, the kind of high-class historical gossip you might get if an eminent Soviet historian like Robert Conquest or Richard Pipes went to work for the National Enquirer.

Rated: 3/5

Variety

Results are solid, if stylistically unspectacular.

Observer

If you have the slightest curiosity about the people and the period, Stalin's Wife is mandatory viewing.

Eric Monder

Film Journal International

As illuminating, trenchant and penetrating as any fiction film.

Scott Foundas

L.A. Weekly

By the end of its excruciating two hours, Stalin's Wife has brought us no closer to its subject than does the eerie stone bust that adorns her grave in Moscow.

Ken Fox

TV Guide

Documentary filmmaking on the cheap, comprised primarily of familiar newsreel footage and shot-on-video talking-head interviews.

Rated: 2.5/5
