Synopsis: Anora (Mikey Madison), a nightclub dancer from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and marries the son of a Russian oligarch. Their romance is, however, thrown into jeopardy when the oligarch's disapproving parents find out about the relationship, determined to break up the marriage and bring their son back to Russia.
Review: Sean Baker's Anora is a vibrant and hilarious romp through the clashing worlds of Brooklyn and Brighton Beach. The film is a delightful blend of social satire and screwball comedy, with Baker's signature eye for detail and authentic characters on full display. Mikey Madison carries the responsibility of her role well, bringing a blend of vulnerability and energy to Anora. For this reason, viewers’ are encouraged to empathise with even her most questionable decisions. While Anora is undeniably entertaining, it does settle into an extended slapstick chase sequence that ends up feeling overlong. These scenes, while often hilarious, also highlight the one-dimensional nature of some of the characters within them, who can come to serve more as plot devices than fully realised individuals. Anora is, nevertheless, a thoroughly enjoyable and often hilarious film that showcases Baker's talent for capturing the nuances of human relationships and the complexities of cultural identity.
