It really does sneak up on you. The movie has a pretty light tone up till then, even with all the horrific things happening, and then gets very real. It's like something out of a nightmare and it's interesting to watch all these high government functionaries going through the motions and acting like a mob.

Just saw it, and really have to agree with this- there’s a lot in the way things are paced and staged to lay everything at Stalin and Beria’s feet and laugh at the rest as pathetic, will-say-anything-to-save-their-hides buffoons, and then that last meeting and warehouse scene remind you that any of them would have done the same things.
