He was, thus, an excellent choice to directBorat Subsequent Moviefilm, akaBorat 2, the surprise, stealthily-made sequel that brought backSacha Baron Cohen’s infamous Kazakhstan character right before the 2020 election. Woliner’s work on this film gives us the cringe-inducing, problematic-attitude-revealing hidden camera comedy we so crave, but also features a newfound emphasis on emotional growth, and even sneaks in a thriller plot, too — hallmarks of Woliner’s previous work....
