Contemporary cinema’s foremost chronicler of American dreamers and schemers hustling on the margins of capitalist promise, Sean Baker, reaches new heights of mastery with this audacious anti–Cinderella story—a whirlwind neorealist screwball comedy with an aching heart. In an electric, star-is-born performance, Mikey Madison soars as Anora, an enterprising, ferociously foulmouthed Brooklyn erotic dancer and sex worker whose Prince Not-So-Charming comes along in the form of a Russian oligarch’s wild-child son (Mark Eydelshteyn). This is the beginning of a fractured fairy tale—also featuring standout performances from Karren Karagulian, Yura Borisov, and Vache Tovmasyan—that turns the cruel realities of class inside out. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Anora confirms Baker as one of our preeminent auteurs.

Anora was a great film.
Sean Baker hasn't made a bad film. Loved all his output. Tangerine & Red Rocket were great and I'm sure like all of you guys are, we're just waiting for the damn release of Plain Archives Florida Project steelbook. That still remains my favourite.

Anora is most definitely a pick up.

I only actually started watching his stuff a few months ago bit loved them all too, with The Florida Project in particular standing out (but I still thought the other 3 were fantastic). I've seen some complaining about the art for this but I think it's perfect.
