Anora | Film Review

[@tcoppini5827]

I want to watch it

[@ishisshusisusjki8274]

First Sean Baker film I watch, a friend of mine that is his fan recommended to go watch it... I was really pleasantly surprised with it! I didn't see much of his style and seeing drama/comedy I was a bit on the fence but I'm really glad I went to see it! It was funny and gut wrenching without feeling like a more comercial comedy drama... really need to go watch more of his films!

@@ishisshusisusjki8274 Bakers films are really great, definitely recommend them all!

I’ve loved all of Sean Baker’s films in the cinema so was already looking forward to this. Also a longtime fan of Mikey Madison from her days on quirky but compelling tv show called Better Things, short episodes which I think you could really enjoy. By the way, I think her name is Mikey not Mickey, I only tell you this not to be pedantic but because I think she will have a long career so may as well know now.

[@jpaolellafilm]

Not pedantic at all. Only assumed it was pronounced Mickey as her name is Mikaela and I haven't heard anyone say it so far haha.

[@Pingblaha]

not sure this is a cinema watch for me but will definitely give it a try at some ooint

Anora? I barely know her!

[@steve4films]

I don't like Anora as much as you and most people seem to. For me, it is ok and the praise is "mostly merited". I wasn't sure on first watch. I went back for a second viewing and found it quite boring. In contrast I love Baker's previous three films and continued to enjoy them on re-watches. Maybe my expectations were too high.

[@jpaolellafilm]

@@steve4films could be a case of high expectations but maybe it just wasn’t totally for you and that’s totally fine! Glad you found some enjoyment in it at least

[@steve4films]

@ Yes, I think you’re right. Anora is maybe more for those into the Disney Princess fantasy. (which is a big audience). That said, Tangerine wasn’t exactly for me but I still thought it was incredible. 😀
