This is the sequel to the original Borat film from 2006, devised by and starring Sacha Baron Cohen. It's streaming on Amazon Prime Video as there were some issues getting it out in cinemas before the US election, mainly due to closed theatres - in the US and around the world.
I won't say much here, only that it's great fun to see this character again, with his stupid voice and gangly physical comedy. Maria Bakalova as Tutar, Borat's daughter, is a find. She's game for the same kind of awkward, uncomfortable scenes that Cohen revels in. There are key moments throughout, involving knowns (Giuliani) and unknowns (Jeanise Jones) but sometimes it's the small touches that come off the best. How Borat and Tutar respond to a bag that covers a dress may be my favourite part of the film.

Of course, the original Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006), directed by Larry Charles, and another very funny Cohen creation, Bruno (2009), again directed by Larry Charles.
