Sean Baker's (THE FLORIDA PROJECT) Palme d'Or winner ANORA is an audacious, thrilling, and comedic variation on a modern day Cinderella story. Mikey Madison (ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD) 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.

Pretty Woman meets Uncut Gems. A perfect combination of comedy, drama, and romance with a fair amount of strippers doing what they do best. The most I’ve laughed at a movie in a good bit thanks to an excellent supporting cast of exotic dancers and Armenian goons. This will not be a blockbuster but has a good chance of being Best Picture and Madison is the current betting favorite for Best Actress. Sean Baker’s directing and editing are also worth mentioning. Do yourself a favor and check it out if it’s playing near you.

I plan to see it. Been loving Mikey Madison since she played Pamela Adlon's bitchy teen daughter on Better Things. She was also good as a Manson chick in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Brad Pitt kills her arse good.

I wonder if Harmony Korine knew he would make the most ripped off film in recent memory among small budget/independents/A24 when he made Spring Breakers....

I laughed in the theater of “Scream 5” because she dies in a similar fashion as how Pitt gets her.

I saw that movie “Red Rocket” a while back. It was pretty fricked up, and made me, hmm I guess, sad for the way some folks have to live in this world.

I believe they prefer the term “erotic entrepreneur” these days.

Sex worker has been used to glamorize the lifestyle because of the popularity of sites like onlyfans. In this case, I think it’s just the term they used because she is both a stripper and an escort. I’m sure there is a lot of overlap, but they are two distinct professions.

At no point in this movie is her lifestyle glamorized. It is very clear she will do anything to escape the life she is living.

No there's not. If you get naked for money, whether you're in person or online, you're a stripper/hooker. They all sell their bodies for money.

Trying to split hairs on what makes a whore a whore is retarded.

If you really want to feel sad, watch The Florida Project.

If I watch this, is my wife going to kill me?

I want to see it since it won and think it sounds interesting but I also don’t want to get murdered in my sleep.
