Anora

I've watched Anora for 5 times now and I never get tired of it. Few movies can make you feel so many emotions at the same time, you go from laughing to almost crying by the end of the movie and the way the film guides your emotions is executed with such attentiveness. As I said in my very first review of this film, Ani's character is deeply intriguing. Everything we know about her personnality is really evasive and she rarely mentions her past, yet we get easily attached to her because of how authentic and well written her character is. This "mysterious" aspect of Anora emphasizes her charm and makes her story even more engaging than it is already. The atmosphere of the film is moreover very dull almost monotonous sometimes, which fit perfectly with the movie's plot and thematics. Anora might be a simple rom-com on the surface, but if you look deeper, it's a profoundly complex heartbreaking tale about the loss of control and disillusionment. I was so happy when I learned that Mikey Madison won best actress award for her role in Anora. She really deserved it after working so hard to deliver this astonishing and oscar-worthy perfomance. I feel like words aren't enough to describe how perfect this movie is.
