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
