Review: Borat's daughter steals show
The surprise of Borat is gone, something he mentions himself when he keeps getting noticed on the street, which probably explains the pivot to his daughter. And thankfully, and this can't be stressed enough, Maria Bakalova is an absolute revelation.

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm succeeds again in holding up a mirror to the latest embarrassing side of America.
Ethan Anderton, Slashfilm, 21st October 2020Borat 2: first great movie of coronavirus era
There's sure to be no shortage of Covid-19 movies in our near future, from dramatized biopics to work-from-home office sitcoms. Most of them will probably be terrible. Maybe a few will be good, but none will have the urgency of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.

It's not a great success, but it's a pretty good success. Rating: B.
Matt Goldberg, Collider, 21st October 2020Review: 'Borat 2' offers big but inconsistent laughs
The coronavirus sequences don't quite work and the Donald Trump finale can't hold a candle to the prior Pamela Anderson one. There's also an over reliance on cliches but typically the jokes that hit make up for the movie's duller aspects.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Kazakh is back - and Linda Marric is entertained.
Linda Marric, The Jewish Chronicle, 21st October 2020Borat 2 review: Great success
Thanks to Covid-19, very few people will have the chance to see Borat Subsequent Moviefilm in a crowded theater with a bunch of other enthusiastic comedy fans. A viewing alone at home on one of our "calculators" will have to suffice for now.
Matt Singer, Screen Crush, 21st October 2020Borat 2 review
Borat's at it again, with a plot getting in the way of his latest politically charged cinematic shenanigans. Rated 2.5 out of 4.
Brian Truitt, USA Today, 21st October 2020Borat Subsequent Moviefilm review
Borat 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. And the film's fantastic find, Maria Bakalova, Sacha Baron Cohen's on-screen equal, is who, and what, most people will be talking about in the wake of this.
Matt Fowler, IGN, 21st October 2020Borat review: if you love the 1st movie you'll love it
If you thought it crass, vulgar and unutterably puerile, well - this one is a fair bit worse.
