“Anora” thrives on chaos but offers little depth. The film is devoid of any real meaning beyond depicting human degeneracy and the trauma of sex work. It’s not profound, just surface-level shock. The Oscar nominations? One actor spends the movie screaming, the other barely speaks. The predictable plot builds toward an ending that surprises, but only in shallow and male-gaze-driven way.
It’s all Tarantino-style anarchy, which is entertaining, sure, but ultimately pointless, because it ain’t Tarantino.

There is no search. If you can even call it a “search”, it’s as absurd as looking for your mother before she was born—a hollow message the movie insists on delivering.
No real information about the Lebanese Civil War, except the usual parade of inhumane Arab atrocities.
No insight into life in the Middle East.
The only story told is a half-baked, “emotional” plea from a dead, failed woman trying to reunite her family.
Why?
No answers. No information.
