2h 19mins
8/10
First time watch in the cinema
Comedy – Romance – Drama
A young sex worker catches the eye of a wealthy young man who soon wants her to himself, but will Anora get the happily ever after of her Cinderella story once news of their relationship gets to his parents?
As this film started I started to wonder if it was going to be our new Pretty Woman, but the happy bubble of the first half soon bursts.
I loved the use of comedy throughout this film, which could have felt really dark and heavy, but the balance of the comedy gives it such rewatch-ability.
Mikey Madison has you routing for her character Anora to get the best out of the situation she finds herself in. I loved Yura Borisov’s character Igor who gets brought into Anora’s story and as much as he’s present throughout, he feels like an observer just on the outskirts, who truly sees Anora.
Would watch again
