Anora

M Review Anora In Cinemas now My Rating 6/10

I have friends who really enjoyed this movie about a spoiled indulged brat and son of a wealthy Russian oligarch family who hooks up with a young prostitute and after a few lurid transactions proposes marriage .

Much to the horror of Mum and Dad who send a few henchmen to force the girl into an annulment.

One friend described the movie to me as a bit hectic but having pathos which was lost on me .

I just found it hectic and rather ugly having no empathy or interest for any of the characters at all.

Anora played well by an actress I don't know Mikey Madison is a foul mouthed opportunistic shrew her dim witted indulged husband Ivan played by Mark Eydelshteyn really irritated me.

Written and Directed by Sean Baker who wrote a favourite movie of mine The Florida Project 2017 disappointed me with this film but obviously it has a following with multiple Golden Globe nominations this week.
