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

A stealthy cult classic people speak of in hushed tones until the audience grows so large it becomes a sound of thunder.

Imagine if Hustle & Flow were written by Philip K. Dick.

The trio’s chemistry sells all of the wild, riotous action to come as they Scooby Doo gang their way through tainted fried chicken recipes, grape drink communions, and toxic hair relaxers.

An instant classic...

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.

Just because it proves more of an entertaining romp than political satire, though, doesn't mean the latter won't resonate. Think a grounded SORRY TO BOTHER.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 10, 2023

It’s really the subplots that should get your brain turning. Chief among them is the film’s exploration of some Black folks’ adherence to conspiracy theories, no matter how outlandish.

Juel Taylor's debut film combines humor and science fiction with a harsh condemnation of contemporary American society. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 3, 2023

They Cloned Tyrone is a wonderful experience of a movie with a completely original story, told with style and flair, with performances that blow the roof off.

| Sep 14, 2023

A delightfully smart, outrageously inventive social satire that evokes films like They Live and Get Out, They Cloned Tyrone is a headrush of powerful ideas, astute characterization and incredibly witty homage to the Blaxploitation movement of the 1970s.

... has a lot of personality for a copycat.

They Cloned Tyrone has one of Jamie Foxx's best performances in years. We get the rare moment when Jamie is not afraid to go stupid.

Along with similarly out-there and socially conscious genre experimentations by Black filmmakers [...] Taylor’s film has many antecedents but adopts a tone that feels wholly innovative.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 17, 2023

This movie is a social commentary that really holds up a mirror to society in both hilarious, and, at times, harrowing ways.

Full Review | Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 15, 2023

They Cloned Tyrone was quite good! With homages to Truman Show and Groundhog Day, the film is great mix of sci-fi, dystopian comedy, and dark satire. A unique lens on exploitation. Strong performances by John Boyega Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 14, 2023

Given all the ideas, Taylor’s genre platter ends with a satisfying and thought-provoking fantasy note.

Far from bad, but does require patience.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 8, 2023

It's funny, suspenseful and a great watch! Very unique storytelling that pays off. I highly recommend!
