Anora was SO GOOD! The performances all around blew me away. The themes of immaturity and neglect came out perfectly from Annie’s and the Russian kids personalities. Both totally stunted people emotionally . Shout out to the guy who played Igor- what an insanely talented actor.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm not really comfortable sitting and watching that kinda stuff in a movie theater either. It's why I passed on Poor Things and went to see Perfect Days instead. I'd rather have watched a nice, honest guy scrubbing toilets for 2 hours than watch gratuitous stuff.
I think a lot of people’s criticism stems from the portrayal of it. I don’t agree with this but I can somehow see it. However I don’t see how someone can go into a movie that says “it’s about a sex worker and stripper that gets paid to have sex and do drugs and have good time and marry a Russian billionaires son” idk how people can go in expecting opposite.

I enjoyed parts of it but I did find it to drag on at certain parts like when they tie her up etc. I think I gave it a 3/5 lol
Interesting seeing your perspective here. I’ve been hearing this film brought up in a lot of “best of” lists and awards season discussions

Sad to hear you didn't like it. It's one of my favorites of the year so far.
Just curious why sex, drugs, and violence put the score lower for you. Lots of very intelligent and clever films have those things! Just wondering:)

I kinda thought that y’all really liked it when you started talking about the story and the characters
I would love your take on the ending as I am seeing all the female perspective possible.
