Critics Consensus
Another marvelous chronicle of America's strivers by writer-director Sean Baker given some extra pizzazz by Mikey Madison's brassy performance, Anora is a romantic drama on the bleeding edge.
Audience Says
Flipping fairy tale lore upside down, Anora, like its titular anti-princess, may make you laugh and still break your heart.
Stephen Romei The Australian Anora is a grittier experience. All the performances are impressive and I will not be surprised if Madison receives an Oscar nomination. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It’s a rollercoaster ride, yet Baker never confuses movement with action. Every twist takes you somewhere you hadn’t quite expected to be, revealing an emotion you hadn’t expected to share. Rated: 4/5 Dec 21, 2024 Full Review Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting As brazen and unapologetic as many of Baker’s characters are… There is a desperation and a dependency on others that Ani refuses to let define her. Rated: 4.5/5 Nov 23, 2024 Full Review Michelle Kisner The Movie Sleuth With Anora, intentionally or not, Sean Baker has made an anti-Pretty Woman which is more grounded and realistic, yet not wholly devoid of empathy and compassion. Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Ilan Preskovsky Channel24 (South Africa) Anora does touch on Big Themes like class warfare and female empowerment, but first and foremost, it's a genre-bending mix of screwball comedy, unlikely romance, thriller and character-drama that keeps the pace up and the laughs coming throughout. Rated: 5/5 Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate This year's Critics Choice Best Picture winner is a major Oscar contender and - while it may have a similar concept to 'Pretty Woman' - there's one helluva difference. Rated: 8/10 Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
Greg Laughs one minute, heart break the next. And a surprise villain. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Marie78 When this film was first released I skipped because it didn’t seem worthy of a theater visit. Now it’s nominated (good film but not best picture worthy), it was enjoyable with laughter and sadness. Interesting look at a have not being treated poorly by the haves. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Howard L Mickey Madison outstanding! Makes the movie worth seeing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Ettie A24 makes intriguing movies yet again. I enjoyed it. Any movie with NY as the backdrop will always win my heart. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Jason W A fun watch that poses some interesting questions about money, influence, and social hierarchy. The acting is great, particularly the two lead characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review roberto l It was an interesting movie, maybe a modern version of Pretty Woman, but with dark twist ending. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews

However, when Vanya's parents catch wind of the union, they send their henchmen to annul the marriage, setting off a wild chase through the streets of New York.
