But how did this not get more love?! Towed the line of not trampling over the ground work fury road laid while creating a compelling and world expanding story of its own.
Also, by far Chris Hemsworth’s best work. Unironically, he could’ve gotten a supporting actor nomination in a just year.
Didn’t reinvent the wheel with this concept, but executed it well. Appreciated the focus on the emotional journey and acceptance of one’s life, made for a satisfying final 20 minutes. Think some of the plot points and their connecting elements left me a little head scratching, but I think it’s a ‘don’t think too hard’ type movie and that’s exactly what imma do.
Another strong entry from Sean Baker, really enjoyed two of his other films, The Florida Project and Red Rocket.
I’d say this movie is a perfect combo of two favorites of mine Pretty Woman and Uncut Gems.
She had a memorable moment at the end of Once Upon in Hollywood, she gagged us in Scream 5 with ‘Welcome to act 3’, but Mikey Madison has truly arrived with a nuanced performance as the titular Anora. Won’t be surprised if she takes…
