Sean Baker's 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.

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

Baker proves his point in a movie of split motivations held together by the revelation that is Mikey Madison.

Hindustan Times

The final gut punch of Anora is in Sean Baker's decision to suggest what these characters will do after the movie ends. It is a moment of emotional vitality and unexpected truth, delivered with the help of Mikey Madison's wondrous performance.

Rated: 5/5

FilmSpeak (Youtube)

Anora may be the clearest example of class solidarity put to film in recent years. A f----d up Cinderella story about the ways in which our capitalistic society regularly makes financial security and uninhibited self-expression mutually exclusive...

Rated: 4.5/5

Nice performance by Mikey Madison. However the constant yelling and chaos was a turn off. I think the plan was to be funny but it wasn't. A bleak story as well. Igor was the closest thing to a hero all the others had little to no redeeming value
