"If Pretty Woman had never gotten its Extreme Hollywood Makeover, and instead been shot as the dark, drug-fueled tale of sex and violence that first landed on studio executives' desks, it might've looked a bit like Anora. Ani (Mikey Madison) is a sex worker in New York City whose life is turned upside down by Vanya Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn), the fun-loving albeit floundering son of a Russian oligarch."
"Writer-director Sean Baker (Red Rocket, The Florida Project, Tangerine) yet again succeeds in changing the conversation around sex workers and other marginalized people to create a new kind of love story."
"Madison (Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, 2022's Scream) is an absolute revelation as the frenetic princess at the heart of this 'fairytale.' It ends in heartbreak, sure, but also self-discovery."
