After Conan's joke at the Oscars, I kept waiting for Anora to triumph over the Russian billionaires. I kept glancing at the running time as the movie was nearing its end, saying to myself, "C'mon, Anora, give it to those bastards." What I got was a Sean Baker movie.
This is like the opposite of Pretty Woman. I liked it, but I didn't think it was funny. That is, it wasn't a comedy. A bright, dazzling movie about the people at the top and at the bottom of the capitalistic food chain.

I found the first 60 minutes tedious and tiresome, especially the trauma aspect. The last 1/3 when the aliens really flexed their muscles was a lot more interesting and verged on true horror.
Seemed that the condition that the aliens left her in was the equivalent of committing her to an asylum.
The most insufferable Harry Potter film of them all. The ugly costumes add to the fun. The final half hour makes up for an otherwise tedious entry.
Justice Smith is excellent. Other than that, I don't know. Not much there. Maybe too subtle to watch on a plane?
