Reviews

"This is a story of wealth, and power, and what love can and can’t overcome. But it’s also about something far more heart-rending: what it means to be accustomed to being looked at one way, and then experiencing, out of the blue, what it feels like to actually be seen."
– NEW YORK TIMES

"On the whole, what Baker has created here is nothing short of pure movie magic— his smartly interwoven urban machinations make you giggle and inexplicably tear up on repeat (sometimes within the same sequence), while somehow keeping you acutely aware of the sorrow that is bound to rise to the surface."
– ROGEREBERT.COM

"Splenetically hilarious for more than two hours before reality catches up with it in the film’s unforgettable final scene, “Anora” has next to nothing to do with romance, and almost everything to do with the kind of working-class heartache that a modern Hollywood studio would never even try to get right."
– INDIEWIRE

"It shouldn’t all be so funny, but it is, and it’s to Baker’s huge credit that he’s able to inspire laughs and huge enjoyment from this madcap story without leaving you feeling that the woman at the heart of this mess has been short-changed and exploited for our pleasure."

Director Q&A

Overview

Sean Baker's Palme d'Or winner ANORA is an audacious, thrilling, and comedic variation on a modern day Cinderella story. Mikey Madison captivates as Ani, a young sex worker from Brooklyn whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets and impulsively marries Vanya, the impetuous son of a Russian billionaire. However, when Vanya's parents catch wind of the union, they send their henchmen to annul the marriage, setting off a wild chase through the streets of New York.

Stylistically thrilling, hugely entertaining and emotionally genuine, ANORA is a singular variation on a Cinderella story that could only come from Sean Baker. Set in 2018, it follows the wild odyssey of its titular protagonist, a young Russian American sex worker who is swept out of her everyday life as an erotic dancer by the impetuous, free-spending son of a Russian oligarch. The narrative zigs and zags, first immersing us in spaces – a plush Manhattan gentlemen's club, a gargantuan seaside Brooklyn compound, the bling-y wonderland of Las Vegas – that feel unattached to the quotidian world outside. Just as the film seems to be settling into the rhythms of a love story, it jumps genre lanes to become a propulsive, darkly funny chase movie that careens through the streets of Brighton Beach, Coney Island and Manhattan. Towards the end of the film, the tone changes once more, bringing the story to a nuanced and poignant conclusion as ANORA is returned to the home she thought she’d left behind
