Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan | Ratings & Reviews

"Indeed, the man who invented Borat is a masterful improviser, brilliant comedian, courageous political satirist, and genuinely experimental film artist. Borat makes you laugh but Baron Cohen forces you to think..."

Village VoiceVillage Voice

"You won't know what outrageous fun is until you see Borat. High-five!"

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"Borat is, in many ways, an heir to the same kind of subversion of American norms that the transvestite Divine perfected in John Waters’ early films by literally eating shit and keeping her mother in a crib. Apparently, though, in the America of 2006, a foreigner can be just as much of an outsider as a drag queen was in 1971..."

"The weapon wielded by Cohen and Charles is crudeness. People today, especially those in public life, can disguise prejudice in coded language and soft tones. Bigotry is ever so polite now. So the filmmakers mean to drag the beast out into the sunlight of brilliant satire and let everyone see the rotting, stinking, foul thing for what it is. When you laugh at something that is bad, it loses much of its power..."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Absurd, outrageous, gross, disturbing, insightful, and so funny it’ll burst half the blood vessels in your face..."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"Personally, I didn't find the film particularly offensive. Shocking? Yes. But Borat himself is not overly offensive. Rather than promoting bigotry, the naive actions of Borat reveal the prejudices of others with astounding ease. However, humour, as always, is in the belly-laugh of the beholder. Me? I laughed until I nearly hyperventilated..."
