Although it is certainly self-indulgent and wandering at times, Dr. Strangelove still reigns as one of the most biting and consistently odd examples of satire in film. The chameleon-like performances by Peter Sellers are all, in their own way, genius comic creations, and the film doesn't shy away from a harsh criticism of Cold War politics, though it gives this criticism amid absurdity.
