Leaving aside the humorous cultural escapism of the early aughts, The Next Cut faces the racial and political issues of 2016 head on.

This Barbershop is simply a place where we can all laugh together, sometimes at ideas that veer close to being explosive.
Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine

It's refreshing to encounter a sequel that leans deeper into sociopolitical realities, not further away.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out

It's stagey, often simplistic and it talks too damn much. But, hell, the talk has flavor and snap and a real-world sense of a community in crisis. Not bad for an escapist romp.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
