The movie showed the decency of many people - the black babysitter, the Jewish ladies, and even the two Q-Anon buddies displayed some generosity and kindness.
My favorite moment - the caged girl that gives the finger to Tutar (who is jealous of her cage).
My 19 year old son and his friend were absolutely wired after the movie, saying it was the funniest thing they have ever seen.

The actress who played Tutar did a tremendous job. Remember, this is not a typical acting job. A different challenge when you have to assume a character, have people believe you are that character, and not break character, while also doing a lot of unusual things.
Sacha Baron Cohen said he auditioned 500 people for the role
As for how the film should be evaluated, that is up to each of us. You are right, he showed some decency, and that is a good thing for the polarized environment that some people are working hard to expand
Sacha BC in the video below gives some perspective in to his comedy in this keynote address to the audience at an anti defamation conference. While a certain portion of it he acknowledges is juvenile humour with no higher purpose, he also at times uses his characters to disarm people and then they expose things they are comfortable with, and often those things are not what society should aspire to. Hopefully it is helpful to people who seem to want to focus with priority on the juvenile comedy portion of it. The timing of this movie being released within weeks of the election is deliberate, and the timing was likely a much higher priority than perfecting the humour
