I went into this already half- cringing, expecting 90 minutes of unrelieved awkwardness and embarrassment, never my favourite style of comedy. So I was surprised by the range of Baron Cohen’s targets, and the breadth of his comedy- there’s slapstick, wordplay, real character and actual warmth, albeit filtered through a viciously dark lens. Bring on the legions of cheap imitators.
