Listen "Anora Review • Sean Baker Evolved"
Episode Synopsis
And here's my review of Anora, the festival sweetheart directed by Sean Baker and starring Mikey Madison. The ending of Anora is discussed at the end of the video in a spoiler section.
If you're not already aware, Anora is about a stripper whose ability to speak Russian gets her an admirer in the ambiguously rich Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn). Dressed in her finest pair of jean shorts, Anora marries Vanya and kicks off a highly unpredictable honeymoon phase. Trust me: the less you know about the movie, the better.
Hunter discusses the movie's uncommon structure, how it evolves Baker's primary motif, and the curious ending (spoiler section).
