Video Review – Anora celebrates the American (Wet) Dream

November 19, 2024 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of Anora…

If you could only see one breakout performance of the year, it should be the talented Mikey Madison in Sean Baker’s latest film, Anora. With this performance, sleek editing, and some of the most compelling writing, you can easily see why this is one of the year’s awards frontrunners.

Anora knows how to warm your heart and then repeatedly shatter it. Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

Anora, a young sex worker from Brooklyn, meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.

Mikey Madison (Better Things, Scream) stars as Ani, a young sex worker who impulsively marries the son of an Oligarch she met at work, but their relationship is threatened when his parents set out to get it annulled. The film stars Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, Karren Karagulian, Yura Borisov, and Vache Tovmasyan.
