Anora (2024)

A young stripper from Brooklyn meets and impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale is threatened as his parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled. 

Anora won five Oscars: Motion Picture of the Year, Best Actress for Mikey Madison and Supporting Actor for Yura Borisov, and Directing, Original Screenplay and Editing awards for indie darling Sean Baker (Tangerine, The Florida Project). Anora also won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and over 150 other awards. 

Anora was Rotten Tomatoes’ best-reviewed romance of the year, with a 93% critics rating. As Salon says, “It’s a crowd-pleaser, funny and sexy and raucous, while also being startlingly wise and tender.”
