Anora
**“Jealousy is a disease remember that Diamond!”

now see this was a film that i had kept seeing pop up all over my fyp and seeing so many people online talk about how amazing of a film it was that i myself had to finally give in and sit down and watch it and i’ve got to say that at first i had thought so many people were overreacting when it came to this film but after finishing it up i’ve got to say that i did end up enjoying it from start to very finish like the only other film i’ve seen by sean baker was tangerine from 2015 and i found that one to be such a fucking fantastic film so if you were a fan of that one i’d definitely recommend giving both of these a back to back watch because they both were similar in a way and the story in anora was one that was very well written to me i’d say especially with how each of the characters in this one were written and how each of the actors portrayed each of their respective roles especially miss mikey madison who i’ve got to say i’ve grown fond of because when i first saw her onscreen in the scream 5 film i wasn’t really impressed by her acting but once i saw her anora all that changed because of much her improvement was in this film and how well she played this character and expressing the many emotions and mannerisms in such a terrific way like i loved her brooklyn accent so much because she perfected it so well and then can we also talk about how much of a complete bad bitch that she was in this film like i loved how her character did not take any shit from anyone whether that be from a man or woman she was just clearing bitches left and right and i had to give her a around of applause for it each time she did so and i know there’s so many people out there saying that this was such a sad film but to me it felt more of comedy that’s not saying that i also didn’t find it to be a saddening one because it definitely was especially with how the ending for anora was with her having to get a divorce to her supposed ‘husband’ who you could tell she did have some type of love for and also her wanting to get away from that line of work that she was doing but it obviously didn’t end in happiness because the man she married was too much of a complete pussy as she called him because he couldn’t even fight for the woman that he supposedly loved and was too much of a wimp to stand up towards his parents and fight for his marriage so in the end anora was left with nothing and just the scene of her in the car having a complete breakdown to igor was so saddening to me because if i’m being completely honest i wanted her and him to end up together instead of when she was with that bastard ivan because even though she was so mean to him you could still tell that the man had such a soft spot for her and always looked out for her like when he had brought the scarf with him to give to her because it was freezing outside like where can one find a man like that at?? also one last thing the soundtrack for this film was fucking everything to me like nothing but complete bangers after bangers and it fit very well with the element of the film but anyways this was a rollercoaster of fucking emotions everywhere
