There's been so much buzz around Sean Baker's "Anora." It won the Palme d' Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May, it had a successful run at QCinema last November and, as of this writing, it's predicted to earn nominations for best picture, best director, best original screenplay and best actress for the Academy Awards. Critics have called it one of the best films of 2024.
Mikey Madison plays "Anora" who prefers to be called Ani. She's a dancer at a New York bar called Headquarters and she's apparently open to doing escort work off hours. She ends up getting assigned to Ivan 'Vanya' Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn) the son of a Russian oligarch. At first, it's all fun and games and partying, Vanya likes her and hires to be his girlfriend for a week, one shenanigan leads to another and the two end up getting married.
