Review: Sacha Baron Cohen in clever, scattershot sequel

As Borat's latest misadventures exist to remind us, we live in a world gone mad, and compliance seems antithetical to his gleefully anarchic spirit.

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review

It's an amusingly harebrained scheme, but there's nothing in this moviefilm that matches the elegant social experiment of the first.

Devika Girish, The New York Times, 21st October 2020

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm film review

In a culture where Americans publicly reveal their worst opinions every day, it's no longer a trick to get them to do it on camera.

Alonso Duralde, The Wrap, 21st October 2020

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review

A stupid film made by very smart people, Subsequent Moviefilm has a noble intent at odds with the loathsome figures that populate it. It's never quite as gut-bustingly funny as the 2006 original, but you get the sense that wasn't what Cohen was going for.

Jordan Farley, Games Radar, 21st October 2020

Borat 2 review

Decent movie, same old Borat. (3 stars out of 4)

Johnny Oleksinski, The New York Post, 21st October 2020

Borat 2 is an outrageous, hilarious triumph

Jak się masz! Kazakhstan's number one reporter is back in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the most controversial movie since... well, the original Borat.

Cameron Frew, Unilad, 21st October 2020

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review

Absurd masterpiece holds a mirror to the world.

Charlotte O'Sullivan, Evening Standard, 21st October 2020

Borat 2: review

Original's insanity and anti-Semitism, multiplied by a factor of 2020.

Jordan Hoffman, The Times of Israel, 21st October 2020

Borat back in a changed landscape

The prejudices Baron Cohen exposes have become too fond of exposing themselves. Rating: B-.

Jesse Hassenger, The AV Club, 21st October 2020

Borat: He's back, with his daughter in tow

Sacha Baron Cohen reprises his most famous role, heckling Mike Pence and pranking Rudy Giuliani alongside excellent new sidekick Maria Bakalova.
