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.

Critics Consensus

Another marvelous chronicle of America's strivers by writer-director Sean Baker given some extra pizzazz by Mikey Madison's brassy performance, Anora is a romantic drama on the bleeding edge.

Audience Says

Flipping fairy tale lore upside down, Anora, like its titular anti-princess, may make you laugh and still break your heart.

Anora is a grittier experience. All the performances are impressive and I will not be surprised if Madison receives an Oscar nomination.

Rated: 3.5/5

Sydney Morning Herald

It’s a rollercoaster ride, yet Baker never confuses movement with action. Every twist takes you somewhere you hadn’t quite expected to be, revealing an emotion you hadn’t expected to share.

Rated: 4/5

As brazen and unapologetic as many of Baker’s characters are… There is a desperation and a dependency on others that Ani refuses to let define her.

Rated: 4.5/5

Hilarious and heartfelt, Mikey Madison is a revelation as the title character dropped into a modern-day, adult version of a romantic fairy tale.

It started off as pretty standard fare but takes twists and turns that I didn’t expect. And it was surprisingly funny in parts.

Touch Absolutely captivating story of class disparity. Funny, sweet and brutally tragic. Beautifully shot with some great needle drops, and the subtle shift in perspective makes this a must-see.

I’d recommend it. Although it felt a bit pointless/aimless for the duration of the film, by the end I finally felt something that made this experience worth it.
