Anora, a young sex worker from Brooklyn, meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as his parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.. Mikey Madison reflects on the roles that shaped her path to Anora, from "Better Things" to Once Upon a Time… At the Cannes Film Festival press conference, Mikey Madison said that director Sean Baker would act out different sex positions with his wife, producer Samantha Quan, to demonstrate to the actors what he wanted them to do..
Igor: PLEASE! STOP! SCREAMING!. Sean Baker returns to his wheelhouse of exploring the dingy edges of society.
This is a story of tormented love, a proud look at how a young woman, scraping by as a sex worker in Brooklyn, sees her hopes and dreams become insanely real when she meets her prince charming, the son of a Russian oligarch. Her life changes dramatically as they get married.Mikey Madison is miraculous as the young woman whose fairy tale dream comes alive. But unlike Elizabeth Taylor in "Butterfield 8" or Elisabeth Shue in "Leaving Las Vegas", the female protagonist here never becomes the classic hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold. She remains tough as nails, chock full of rage and ready to throw her next punch until the very end.
While she never becomes a savory person, she never resolves any questions. She knows how to stick up for herself and rejects with fury those who fail in this regard. It’s one of the best performances of the year.Just when you think you know where this is going, it upends your expectations and proves to be a much more challenging film with a sobering reality at its core. In all honesty, that’s a bit of a stretch, notwithstanding a dark sense of humor.
Fair warning, this film is pretty taxing on the psyche. You might be exhausted in the end. But it’s a memorable film that will leave you in devastated awe. See the full lineup for the 62nd New York Film Festival this Fall.
