    Anora

    ★★★★

    From the very first scene, Anora grabs you and refuses to let go. Chaotic, relentless, and wildly entertaining, the film thrives on its unpredictability, building to a final gut-punch that leaves you breathless. The dialogue crackles with energy—characters constantly talking (and yelling) over each other in a way that feels refreshingly real, pulling you deeper into the madness.

And for that does Joe Berlinger and Zac Efron deserve my utmost respect.
