... like a morbidly sick Looney Tunes short with its cartoon heroes struggling impotently to keep hold of a hot potato.
Slant Magazine
Dr. Strangelove's status as the movie that confirmed both Stanley Kubrick's reputation and the arrival of beat-sick irreverence can no longer be retracted.

[A] supremely ironic comedy on the possibility of nuclear annihilation.
Top CriticLike most of his work, Stanley Kubrick's deadly black satirical comedy-thriller on cold war madness and its possible effects (1964) has aged well.

The whole thing is a bit too contemptuous of our defense system for my comfort and taste, wrote NY Times critic Crowther, showing that Kubrick's dark satire was so ahead of its time that critics didn't know what to make of it.

'Purity of essence'.... Superbly crafted satire that's neocon fresh to this day.
Perhaps Kubrick's most perfectly realised film, simply because his cynical vision of the progress of technology and human stupidity is wedded with comedy.
Arizona Daily Star
Endures as one of the finest political satires.

Stanley Kubrick's blackest of black comedies.
Blunt Review
Stanley Kubrick's 40-year-old satirical polital-comedy about the end of the world is especially disturbing as one ponders world events at present.
