Cruelty and content that may offend
Like other Baron-Cohen films, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm contains deliberately provocative and edgy humour intended to shock audiences.
It includes jokes that reference rape and sex trafficking, as well as humour that draws on racial stereotypes and prejudiced attitudes. The satire relies on exaggeration and offensive characterisations for comedic effect.
Some viewers may find the tone and subject matter offensive due to its use of controversial and sensitive topics in a comedic context.
Offensive language
Frequent use of offensive language, including “c**t”, “f**k”, “p***y”, and b*t*h”.
