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.

3/4

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.

Proudly flaunting its influences, THEY CLONED TYRONE vibes as the Mystery Inc. gang investigating Tuskegee if the episode were directed by ATLANTA's Hiro Murai.

B-

They Cloned Tyrone is an enjoyable watch, mostly due to the incredible work brought upon by Boyega, Parris, and Foxx, who give their all inside an aesthetically intricate and fun conspiracy comedy.

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

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