CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on October 22nd, 2020, reviewing the new Sacha Baron Cohen redux of “Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm,” and the last weekend of the 56th Chicago International Film Festival.

Rating: 4.0/5.0

Borat Margaret Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen) from Kazahstan is back, again wreaking havoc on America, this time during the Trump era. The kicker is his daughter Tutar (Maria Bakalova) is his sidekick this time, and the comic pair come up with wild and substantial encounters on many of this country’s citizens. Running into the pandemic, Trump supporters, Texas Republican women and Rudy Guiliani, Borat provides a window to the soul of America.

“Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm” is on Amazon Prime Video on October 23rd. Featuring Sacha Baron Cohen and Maria Bakalova. Screenplay by Sacha Baron Cohen, Peter Baynham, Jena Friedman, Anthony Hines, Lee Kern, Dan Mazer, Erica Rivinoja and Dan Swimer. Directed by Jason Woliner. Rated “R”
