Where to Watch The Wizard of the Kremlin
- Rick MastersMay 8, 2026OK, so straight up, this is so very dry and slow.… It feels like the film adaptation of Putin’s Wikipedia page. Far from a controversial great historical biopic, more a monotone, cold hard slog with its only saving grace being the uncanny resemblance to the Russian president Jude Law manages to accomplish. And holy shit… if Paul Dano’s character really was that dull then he nailed that too.
