Anora Ratings & Reviews
- VarunDecember 19, 2024Damn this movie was quite a ride. Reminded me so much of Uncut Gems (2019), coz the moment to moment drama is frenetic, anxiety inducing but also genuinely funny as hell. Every single actor did such a great job, a big section of the movie is so dependent on the ensemble’s interactions and mood changes throughout the ordeal which is nailed to perfection. I didn’t even recognise Mikey Madison from Scream (2022), her performance was truly transformative and captivating. The premise is simple but the series of events is really entertaining and well paced. The dialogue is also smart and in many scenes it brings a unique sentiment to it which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. This is a solid film that’ll have you hooked from beginning to end.
- AlienboobMarch 7, 2025How did she win an award for this movie
- Karin e BorisApril 13, 2025It's really strange how a film like this could receive so many awards. Tasteless and unimaginative. Aside from a few rare moments, the acting is terrible, especially that of the Oscar winner. The expectations were definitely too high.
- McClane11March 7, 202510-15 years ago no one would have noticed this film. Is it the decline of cinema?
- Hagen W2d agoHated everyone but Igor
- TonyHsiehMarch 9, 2025I think I must have watched a totally different non-Award winning movie with the same name like I used to accidentally get at Blockbusters like “Atlantic Rim”.
- LaurieannMarch 17, 2025Nothing new or unpredictable to see here.
- adecariaSeptember 6, 2025I'm not saying this is an Academy Award worthy movie... but I am definitely saying Mikey Madison is such a convincing exotic dancer that it brought me back to Wednesday nights in Nashvegas, circa 2005. Not that I was a regular strip clubber with Eli, Nabil, Flo, or any of the other guys at the factory. I mean, if I don't pay at the door it doesn't count is all I'm saying. And if my buddies want to pay for lappers, it's not like I'm a degenerate or anything. I'm just saying she was like hyper-realistic. Good acting.
- rg9400December 21, 2024Anora is a tour de force acting showcase for her, instantly propelling yet another Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Manson Family actor to soaring heights. The movie starts out with a frenetic pace, a sex-infused blitz through a week in Ani's life with Mark Eidelstein's Ivan. This part of the movie is visually engaging, though I preferred the second half. Here, the story slows down significantly and allows Madison's acting to truly shine. It's also where the comedy starts to burst through, with many laugh-out-loud moments that rival most modern comedies. Throughout, you can see how desperately she tries to fight and claw, even physically, for a chance to hold onto her Cinderella dream and in her belief in her own self-worth. As a viewer, we know where everything is headed; the movie makes no attempts to hide how it views its characters, yet it is fascinating to watch how much each of the characters try to resist the inevitable. Mikey's fiery acting demands all your attention, but it is excellently supported by Yura Borisov's quiet acting, managing to say so much without any words. The movie's structure feels decidedly unconventional, starting with a spiral, slowing down, before it ends with a screeching halt in what feels like a very un-Hollywood ending. The end result might initially feel anticlimactic, but this character study will linger in your mind, no small part due to that striking final image. Mikey has earned her laurels.
- QrowXApril 5, 2025I was eye raped.
- falkerMarch 21, 2025Boy there's a lot of Russian, Boobs, and yelling in this movie. And the word "Fuck" in two different languages. I was worried my neighbors would be concerned with all the screaming so I turned it down, way down. I just moved in here and all my neighbors are old. I don't want them calling the cops on me, "Oh sorry it's just me here and Mikey Madison topless and tied in a phone cord, nothing weird".
- innamoramentoMarch 14, 2025Boring story, endless screaming, stupid ending
- Jacob O’NealMay 29, 2025Best picture winner, huh? So was Coda. Anyone remember that movie from 2021. You’ll be a footnote in history faster than Pootietang left theaters. I don’t mean to say this movie was bad. I watched it, left the theater and only remembered boobs and Russians. Nothing about plot or acting. I guess the academy should start watching the movies for themselves.
- BurnharmApril 7, 2025Sorry but it didn’t meet my expectations.
- Tamas HreskoSeptember 3, 2025It's a piece of s*it...I don't know how could the actress won an Oscar for this...
