the real film shady
all i do is cry and talk about hot characters here
i was looking forward to this because i loved sean baker’s treatment of the florida project, a film i truly hold close to heart. but with anora, something feels empty? in a sense that the film was titled anora that you would expect it to be about her—her struggles and complexities, especially in the sex work industry. it was all ivan ivan ivan. the intrigue was left for who is this kid and who are his parents. i definitely enjoyed…
one of my favorites from 2024! ended the film with feelings of strong disgust yet appreciation. the pacing, the shots, the editing, the cast, the story—it was all well thought out to convey the message beyond surface level. the amount of details and references used to tell the story was so so so cool. you are so cool coralie fargeat, i look forward to more of your works! :)
