First Reviews: Borat 2 - Sacha Baron Cohen Amuses and Scares

Film critics commented on Borat 2. The work was very well received and once again offers a lot of fun, and at the same time gives some hard food for thought.

Tomorrow, on October 23, Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm, the second comedy movie focusing on a moustached Kazakh ridiculing the paradoxes of life in the United States, will launch on Amazon Prime Video platform. The reviews of professional critics (not only from American) have already appeared on the web and they are very enthusiastic. The percentage of positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes is 83% with an average score of 7.08/10 (out of 101 ratings - 84 positive, 17 negative).

Selected reviews of Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm

  1. Matt Zoller Seltz, RogerEbert - 3.5/4
  2. Nicholas Barber, BBC - 4/5
  3. Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle - 3/4
  4. Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post - 3/4
  5. Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post - 3/4
  6. Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic - 3/5
  7. Brian Truitt, USA Today - 2.5/4
  8. Kevin Maher, Times (UK), - 2/5

The critics' opinion lead to a conclusion that Borat: Subesequent Moviefilm is more than just a primitive comedy. The viewer can expect a bold social commentary and brutal satire, and Sacha Baron Cohen didn't cut any corners and focus on cuting off coupons. One thing is certain - we should be satisfied.

His adventure with journalism began with a personal blog, the name of which is no longer worth quoting. Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
