[Review] Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (8/10)

 

Title - Borat Subsequent Moviefilm

Borat is back at what he does best, putting people on the spot. I just cannot believe some of the things about the American people that were shown onscreen. The things they say, do, it was incredible - to put it nicely.

Seeing Sacha Baron Cohen pulling this off is one thing, but to see his co-star Maria Bakalova just stringing people along, especially someone in the presidential office; I tip my hat to her. 

And because of her addition and the subject matter of the father-daughter relationship, the writers were able to inject so much heart into the screenplay and, even in such a movie, they have managed to pull it off and make the audience feel.

But it was that final twist that did it for me. To see what was suggested about Covid-19 was just hilarious. This movie was far more superior than the first one which I was barely lukewarm towards.

And Cohen is a genius to have pulled this movie off, to have shot everything and release it without anyone knowing; is amazing.
