Mikey Madison puts on a good show and is probably deserving of her Oscar based solely on all the sexploitation she endured from her director.
But five Oscars? Based on a story that evokes nothing in the form of humor (billed as a comedy) or romance (billed as a Cinderella story)?
It's not even agitating enough to discuss because the film has no heart and soul. It has a greedy girl who sees her escape out of the "business" and runs into a brick wall. She gets what she deserves and cries at the end.
I was moved to my best BM of the week. If this is inspiration, I'm not buying into it. Hopefully, the inspired are the ones who just want to get out of the prostitution business and make good lives for themselves. My guess is, however, the 17- and 18-year-olds of this world will see Anora as an advertisement for selling their bodies with hopes of luring a drunken, stupid Nepo-dude into faux matrimony.
