I’ve been looking back at Sacha Baron Cohen’s interviews lately and decided I’d give this film a try…
One thing I love about his characters is the capacity they have to bring out GENUINE reactions from people who are convinced that the person they are talking to is a real person.

I love the styles of animation that are dotted throughout this film, that really enhance the narrative and keep things as visually entertaining…
