Alison Willmore

New York Magazine/Vulture

The rare offering that doesn’t just feel like it’s made by a person but by someone with an eye for visual, a distinctive voice, and a sharp sense of humor.

It does waver at times, but the laughs are always backed by insightful ideas.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

His [Juel Taylor] is a richly imagined and visually impressive world, and the laugh-out-loud screenplay he and Tony Rettenmaier wrote fires off joke after joke while paying homage to blaxploitation films of yore.

Rated: 3/4

Loud and Clear Reviews

"They Cloned Tyrone is a stylish comedy that uses an intriguing sci-fi premise to build up some surprisingly poignant commentary on racial segregation."

Rated: 3.5/5

Best Netflix film in years. The movie is hyper aware of itself. Extremely meta and sophisticated. Very clever humor.
