‘Anora’ (dir. by Sean Baker, starring Mikey Madison) | Official Trailer | NEON

[Supa]

Just watched and it was good but I wasn't amazed. Haven't seen most of the best picture nominees so I can't say whether the award was justified. I feel like it dragged a bit but for a low budget indie movie it was solid.

Went back a few pages and didn't see anyone mention this but am I the only one who thought they were hinting at Anora being a rape victim? She said Igor had rapist eyes, there was the scene where she was yelling and they thought she was yelling rape, and the way she reacted when Igor tried to kiss her made me wonder if that's the case.

I thought she was just a money chasing sex worker but those "rape" scenes seemed to be adding more backstory to why she is the way that she is.

She tried to fight Igor off then broke down crying. She had no problem kissing earlier in the movie. It could be that this was intimate and not transactional but it seems to be more than that. Maybe sex is just business to her because someone she tried to be intimate with abused her. Igor going for this kiss brought her back to a traumatic moment hence her breaking down. It seems like Igor understood that and that's why he held her.

Lastly Mikey Madison is fine as hell

I was gonna try to see this in theaters this week before it’s gone but some are saying the hype is basically that a young white girl did a bunch of nude/sex scenes?

The white girl version of JLo’s “Hustlers” (which was actually a good movie!!)


I can wait for HBO or Showtime or something if that’s the case

It's's very very good. You liked Industry, my feeling is you'll like this. Uncut Gems with a lot of romance. Shot on location, hilarious, profane, chaotic.

It's not a typical Oscar bait bullshyt movie, about a composer, or a whale, or the Civil War, or a musical set in the 1960's or whatever.

To be honest if you still wanted to see a young white girl do a bunch of nude sex scenes you could simply rent a copy of the 2024 movie Poor Things where Emma Stone (won best actress Oscar) basically did the same thing probably in better lighting.

Sorry, but I would act just like his parents. You’re not marrying a stripper, and embarrassing us like that. My grandchildren’s mother won’t be a prostitute. She had the nerve to be appalled when they kept calling her that. You gave him a lap dance at the strip club, then a house call for sex. Then he asked you to go on vacation, you charged him 15K, and spontaneously agreed to marry him. Yeah, that makes you a prostitute.



The marketing of this film as a love story is misleading. It was two young adults having fun. She was the first girl to give him good sex, and he briefly caught feelings. She was just in it for money, and to escape the stripper life.
