All the buzz may be aroundBarbieandOppenheimer, but the best movie released today might actually be aNetflixoriginal. With a 100% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, it is in fact ahead of both Christopher Nolan and Greta Gerwig’s latest projects. Cementing Netlfix’s place as one of thebest streaming services.

The movie is a razor-sharp satire of 20th-century Blaxploitation movies and many have compared it to the brilliant and similarly off-the-wallSorry To Bother Youbut it definitely stands on its own two feet. As Juel Taylor’s first time in the director’s chair, They Cloned Tyrone suggests that we can look forward to a host of brilliant features in the future.

I won’t go too much into spoiler territory but we follow our leads, described as “An Entrepreneur, a Pimp and a Pro” in a predominantly African-American neighbourhood. After what seems like a tragedy, they stumble into a conspiracy that goes way beyond their paygrade, which as you might expect, involves a lot of cloning. It’s smart but also knows when to get silly, and Foxx in particular has his usual brilliant one-liners. You really should watch it this weekend, whether you’re after a laugh or a genuine thinker.

This movie is one of Netflix’s tentpole summer releases so they will be relieved to see it received so well, especially at a time when it iscracking down on password sharingand has now justscrapped its basic plan. In fact, the service has hit a record-high number of users this year (presumably not clones) so it seems to be working.
