Mixed feelings about this. Madison really knocked it out of the park (idk if she deserved the Oscar win but still great performance). Eydelshteyn did so good I hated his annoying ass. Borisov conveyed a lot without doing a lot which is hard.
This movie is really funny. And I am happy to see sex work portrayed in such a positive light. But it’s also tragic. There’s a lot to unpack in just Anora’s experience. That last scene is actually…
Starts off slow but it’s almost necessary to draw you in. Once the main plot kicks off you’re already immersed without even realizing it. A lot of restraint shown in crafting the ending which I’m sure can be frustrating for some but I loved it because it allowed so many different interpretations.
Written, shot, and directed like a Freshman film student’s first crack at making a movie. But every scene with Dafoe (especially when they put him in drag) is pretty entertaining.
