The wait for Anora is excruciating- with every passing review, my anticipation grows for this film!

[@LukeHearfield]

Hahahaha my apologies Caroline. Hopefully the film lives up to the hype. We ATE it up in Cannes. Can’t wait to watch it again x

[@lostinthereel]

Sean Baker is one of my favorite filmmakers. Ive loved all of his movies and this was my most anticipated project from Cannes. The outpouring of support for Anora and its Palme win, makes me so happy and I CANNOT wait to see it! Thanks for the review Luke!!! ❤

[@LukeHearfield]

My pleasure my friend. I can’t wait to see this film again. It’s such a euphoric whirlwind rollercoaster of a movie. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it x

[@daniyal_muratoglu]

There is same movie named Anora from Uzbek film from 2007s. Similarly that Anora also did worked as escort. So it doesn’t make sense. Both are Uzbeks with same title of movie and job

[@oshapmoviesofficial]

NEON IS RISING UP. DO YOU THINK IT'S THE NEW A24?

[@LukeHearfield]

Both are championing smaller productions and helping to get undiscovered talent on the map. A24 is probably ahead in numbers but both are doing incredible work for movies. X

[@diyorpardaev]

good interpretation. I think the mistake of the movie is the selection of an Uzbek girl. These images, which do not correspond to Uzbek culture, are far from reality.

[@sardoribrokhimov3379]

I am Uzbek,🇺🇿 this movie is for our nation, we are Muslims. The name Anora is Uzbek

[@LukeHearfield]

Oh lovely. Are you excited to see Anora? X

[@oynur8447]

Why an Uzbek girl? Damn Americans I am Uzbek We are Muslims. Daxxuya gap yozardim ee naxxuy barbir foydasi yoq menga u kino qiziq emas ummuman taqiqlash kerak. You do not know the history of Uzbekistan.

[@kellie-nd1yp]

Now I really can’t wait to see Anora ! 😎

[@LukeHearfield]

It really is awesome, I can’t wait for more people to fall in love with it.

[@nelg54]

Great review. Can’t wait to watch the film!

[@LukeHearfield]

Thanks boo. We defo have to go catch it in cinemas when it relased in uk cinemas

[@TheTarman]

My only question is how sexually explicit is it (in terms of actual nudity and such, not just themes, as it’s *obviously* about a sex worker)? I’ve only seen The Florida Project and found it overall very tasteful in its depiction of potentially-sexually-exploitative themes, but a lot of the press I’ve seen about Anora is about intimacy coordination stuff that has me wondering if this will be quasi-pornographic, ala Blue is the Warmest Colour Hope you see this comment and can give me a reply

[@GareBare90]

Neon doesn't miss!

[@LukeHearfield]

They are bloody crushing it when it comes to their Cannes movies. 5 years in a row is bonkers hehehe can’t wait for you to see Anora x

[@KhaledBedair]

I'm Egyptian bravo luke can't wait watch the film

[@LukeHearfield]

Thank you Khaled. Whereabouts in Egypt are you from? My brother was based out in Cairo last year so we did a big holiday last year doing a tour around Egypt ☺️ x

[@LukeHearfield]

Also I’m glad you’re excited to see this film- it was so much fun and yet hits hard emotionally too ☺️

[@nisreen0518]

Actually she is uzbek!

[@user-uw8bu4ct6p]

Is there any lesbian scene plssss

[@HBICTiff]

Do you think I’ll ever be able to watch this film? 😢

[@oshapmoviesofficial]

SUBBED

[@LukeHearfield]

Awwww thank you so much for subbing - really means a lot to me 😊 you excited for Anora? X

[@oshapmoviesofficial]

@@LukeHearfield Yeah, I am also interested in brother bros. opinion

[@ronaldcrisosto]

Dude you can’t spoil a movie like that :(

[@LukeHearfield]

Hey man, my apologies - what do you consider to be a spoiler? All I gave was the plot set up. But if you consider something to be a spoiler please do let me know because I don’t like to spoil movies for others and it’s good to know for future videos so I don’t repeat the same mistakes.☺️ Believe me, there’s a lot I could mention about what happens in this film which is waaaaaaay more spoilery than what I discussed in this review. But please do let me know where I went wrong so I can avoid doing so again. X

damnn americans

[@patrikbalogh1858]

This movie is also ridiculously overrated crap! Just like Barbie!

[@LukeHearfield]

Have you seen it? If so, why did you think it’s overrated? Would love to hear a different take on it 😁
