Fourteen long years after the culture shock he experienced in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006), Kazakh reporter, Borat Sagdiyev, has been called to Premier Nursultan Nazarbayev's office for a life-or-death task. To redeem himself and salvage the reputation of the glorious nation of Kazakhstan, Borat must now return to President Donald Trump's America to deliver an exceptional gift to Vice President Mike Pence. Instead, Borat's newfound fifteen-year-old daughter, Tutar, enters the picture, forcing a change of plans. As now-famous Borat takes a deep dive into U.S. politics, in the meantime, the father and daughter learn a thing or two about feminism, racism, and an insidious, lethal virus called COVID-19. Will Borat, Kazakhstan's fourth-best journalist, carry out his mission?
Leave your thoughts about Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
| VarietyPeter DebrugeBorat has lost none of his bite, treading that same fine line between sophomoric humor and pointed political satire. |
| IndieWireEric KohnThis searing brand of humor has never felt more essential. Blending activism with entertainment, Baron Cohen’s best movie to date gives us new reasons to be afraid of the world, but also permission to laugh at it. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattIf the movie's entire axis spins on the kind of extreme discomfort comedy you almost need a pillow to chew on and a pile of Xanax to get through, that's also the particular genius of Baron Cohen, an artist who instinctively knows how to hold up a mirror — and that a cracked one can show us, maybe better than anything, exactly what we need to see. |
| PolygonSiddhant AdlakhaIt sounds ridiculous to say, but the Borat sequel is about as optimistic as a film about the current political moment can be right now. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzFor 2020, though, this new and unexpected Borat is a nice surprise. Very niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. |
| ObserverEric Vilas-BoasSuffice to say that a number of Sacha Baron Cohen’s trolling antics amid this year’s coronavirus pandemic make a lot more sense once you watch the film. |
| ABCPeter TraversWant a blast of fun to ease your pandemic blues? No worries. Borat is back in a sequel that can't recapture the cathartic shock of the first but still shows Sacha Baron Cohen as a razor-sharp satirist who knows how to make us laugh till it hurts. |
| Film ThreatLorry KiktaJust know that Sacha Baron Cohen is up to his old tricks, but he’s got some new ones, too. |
| IGNMatt FowlerBorat Subsequent Moviefilm may not contain all of the shock and awe of the original, since exposing racists has sadly sort of become commonplace, but it still contains an avalanche of awkward, anxiety-cranking moments that'll have you laughing while watching through your fingers like you would a horror movie. |
| SlashfilmEthan AndertonBorat Subsequent Moviefilm is easily the funniest movie of 2020. That’s not exactly difficult in a year when there are barely any new comedies to challenge it for the title, but even in a year with stacked comedies, I’m confident this sequel would undeniably come out on top of the pack. |
