Anora 2024
Just simply didn't get it.
A movie that initially played as a quirky modern re-telling of a classic, tragic romance trope soon evolves into a pointless catalogue of Mikey Madison's Anora immortalizing herself as a more annoying cinematic centerpiece than young JD Vance and Andrew Neiman combined.

And, of course, it has some brilliant source material, with timeless (75 years!) themes of charity and redemption that implore us all to do better with whatever life we may have left. A Christmas Carol, all in the span of under an hour and 30 minutes, urges us all…
