Anora

THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAAAAR Heck, maybe the best of the decade so far (?). Definitely an all-timer. Coolest Palme d'or winner. The anti-"Pretty Woman". Sean Baker's masterpiece investigates the power relations and wounds caused by our economic systems. A story in constant metamorphosis that begins as an perversely exhilarating rom com and slowly becomes a suffocating anxiety-inducing dark comedy about the wounds of capitalism. Power, money and desire walking hand in hand in an unexpected way It's brilliantly insightful about everything he wants to say. It demands to be watched in the cinema. Mikey Madison turns Ani into an cinematic icon. More thoughts in the coming days. I'm totally euphoric hours after my session..
