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.

At its core it’s a romantic dramedy that’s gotten a lot of comparisons to Pretty Woman, though it seems even more spiritually akin to Federico Fellini’s Nights of Cabiria.

A fairy tale — or at least a version of one — shatters into a million tiny pieces in "Anora"...

Rated: B+

“Anora” isn’t a fairy tale that plays by the rules of Prince Charmings and happy endings. Instead, it thankfully explores something more real: people just trying to get through the day with some sense of hope and human connection.

Rated: 3/4

Style Weekly (Richmond, VA)

“Anora” turns into one of those improvisational-feeling movies in which actors appear to believe that it’s the height of gritty realism to scream obscenities in one another’s faces over and over at full volume.

A triumph. Mikey Madison gives one of the year’s best performances in this hilarious, audacious, and thought-provoking story about social mobility in today’s hustle culture. [Full Review in Spanish]

From dramedy to romance to dark comedy to harsh realism, the story takes you on journey and doesn’t miss an opportunity to gut you, whether you’re laughing and staring, with an empty feeling at the screen.

Powerhouse of a film. It truly captivated my interest throughout. I felt every single emotion, ranging from happiness, to sadness, to truly laughing at various moments. The story wasn't like a standard rom-com that it could've thought to have been in the first half of the film. It led us to showing that life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows, and that it doesn't need to be a tragedy either. Life can be chaotic, we can make mistakes and love may come and go, but that it is beautiful in all of its essence.

So much chaos and then a moment of confusion followed by realization and a face slap of emotion. So so good. I cant wait to watch it again.
