Anora is a 2024 American comedy-drama film written, directed, and edited by Sean Baker.

The supporting cast includes Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan, and Aleksei Serebryakov.
Anora premiered on May 21, 2024, at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or. It was released theatrically on October 18 by Neon. It was named one of the top 10 films of 2024 by the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute, and received five nominations at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical, Best Actress and Best Director. It grossed $30 million worldwide on a $6 million budget, becoming Baker's highest-grossing film.
Plot
[edit]Anora "Ani" Mikheeva is a 23-year-old stripper living in Brighton Beach, a Russian-American neighborhood in Brooklyn. Her boss introduces her to Ivan "Vanya" Zakharov, the 21-year-old son of a wealthy Russian oligarch, Nikolai Zakharov. Vanya is ostensibly in the United States to study, but prefers to party and play video games in his family's Brooklyn mansion.
Vanya hires Ani for several sexual encounters. He pays her $15,000 to stay with him for a week. Vanya and his entourage fly to Las Vegas, where Vanya asks Ani to marry him so that he can obtain a green card instead of returning to Russia to work for his father. Although Ani is skeptical, Vanya insists his love is genuine, and they elope in a Vegas wedding chapel. Ani quits her job and moves into Vanya's mansion. When news of the wedding spreads to Russia, Vanya's mother, Galina, orders his godfather, Toros, to find the couple and arrange an annulment while the family flies to the US.
Toros sends his henchmen, Garnick and Igor, to the house. They inform Vanya that his parents will take him back to Russia, and enrage Ani by calling her a prostitute. Vanya flees and Ani fights Garnick and Igor, injuring them and destroying furniture, but they tie her up. When Toros arrives, he lectures Ani about Vanya's immaturity, confiscates Ani's wedding ring, has her gagged, and offers her $10,000 to accept the annulment. Ani insists that she and Vanya are in love, but agrees to help Toros find him.
Ani, Toros, Garnick, and Igor spend the night driving around Brooklyn looking for Vanya, who is on a bender. Ani catches Vanya, drunk, with a stripper at her former workplace. The next day, the annulment is thrown out of court because Ani and Vanya were wed in Nevada.
At the airport, Ani introduces herself to Vanya's parents in Russian, but Galina is contemptuous of Ani. Vanya concedes to his parents and demands Ani fly with the group to Las Vegas. Ani, having not signed a prenuptial agreement, threatens to force Vanya through divorce proceedings, but Galina threatens to destroy her life if she does. Recognizing Vanya's immaturity and his family's power, Ani agrees to the annulment. After the papers are signed, Igor suggests that Vanya apologize to Ani, but Galina insists that her son will not apologize to anyone.
Igor takes Ani back to New York to pack up her belongings. They spend a final night in the Zakharov mansion and make conversation. Ani argues that Igor assaulted her and would have raped her if they were alone, both of which he denies. In the morning, Igor gives Ani the money Toros promised her and drives her home. In the car, he returns Ani's wedding ring. Ani initiates sex with Igor, but resists when he attempts to kiss her, and she breaks down sobbing in his arms.

Production
[edit]
The director, Sean Baker, said Anora was inspired by a story from a friend about a Russian-American newlywed who was kidnapped for collateral. He was also inspired by his work in 2000 and 2001, when he edited wedding videos, including ones of Russian-Americans in New York.[9] Baker said his intentions were towards "telling human stories, by telling stories that are hopefully universal [...] It's helping remove the stigma that's been applied to [sex work], that's always been applied to this livelihood."[10] Baker hired Andrea Werhun, a Canadian writer and actress known for her 2018 memoir Modern Whore about her prior time as a sex worker, as a creative consultant.[11]
Baker cast Mikey Madison after seeing her in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) and Scream (2022).[9][12] He hired Madison without an audition.[13] Madison learned Russian, visited strip clubs, and studied the Brooklyn accent to prepare.[13] Although some media outlets incorrectly reported that Anora Mikheeva was Uzbek-American, Baker said that Anora "is of Russian ethnicity" and "from one of the post-Soviet countries".[12][14][15]
Principal photography took place at the beginning of 2023 in Brooklyn.[16] Anora was filmed over 37 days, with the 25-minute home invasion scene taking 10 days. It was shot on Kodak 35 mm film using an Arricam LT, with color correction completed via DaVinci Resolve at FotoKem.[17] Alex Coco, one of the producers, worked as a disc jockey for the music in the scenes in the club.[18] Baker had over 30 speaking parts in the film.[19]
For the Zakharov mansion, Baker filmed at 2458 National Drive, a Mill Basin mansion once owned by Vasily Anisimov, a oligarch with ties to Russia. Baker had searched on Google for "the biggest and best mansion in Brighton Beach".[20] To learn more about the area, Baker and Mikey Madison temporarily moved to southern Brooklyn during pre-production. Toros and Ani's search for Vanya was filmed in a number of restaurants and clubs that the producers had frequented.[21]
At a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival, Madison said that Baker and the producer Samantha Quan, Baker's wife, would act out different sex positions to demonstrate what they wanted the actors to do. Madison was offered an intimacy coordinator, but said: "As I'd already created a really comfortable relationship with both of them for about a year, I felt that that would be where I was most comfortable with and it ended up working so perfectly."[10]
The soundtrack includes "Dreaming" by Blondie, "All the Things She Said" by t.A.T.u. and "Greatest Day" by Take That. Madison also shared that her friend curated a "stripper playlist" for her to get into character, including tracks from Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Slayyyter.[22]
Release
[edit]
Worldwide distribution rights were acquired by FilmNation Entertainment in October 2023. The film was then sold by FilmNation to Le Pacte for France, Lev for Israel, Kismet for Australia and New Zealand, and Focus Features/Universal Pictures International for the rest of the world excluding North America in deals similar to those made on Baker's previous film, Red Rocket.[16] In November 2023, Neon acquired North American distribution rights to the film,[23] and opened it in limited release on October 18, 2024.[24][25]
Anora premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2024,[26][27] and won the festival's Palme d'Or on May 25.[28] It earned a 10-minute standing ovation at the end of its screening.[29] It became the fifth consecutive Palme d'Or winner distributed by Neon in the United States, following Parasite, Titane, Triangle of Sadness, and Anatomy of a Fall; all except Titane went on to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, with Parasite winning.[30] It is also the first American-produced film to win the Palme d'Or since Terrence Malick's 2011 epic The Tree of Life.[31]
Anora also played at the Toronto International Film Festival,[32] the New York Film Festival,[33] the San Sebastián International Film Festival,[34] and has been selected by the Busan International Film Festival,[35] the BFI London Film Festival,[36] the 19th Rome Film Festival[37] and several others. It was also the closing film at the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024.[38]
The film was released on digital platforms on December 17, 2024.[39]
Reception
[edit]Box office
[edit]As of December 26, 2024[update], Anora had grossed $14 million in the United States and Canada, and $16.1 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $30 million.[5][6] In the United States, it made $550,503 in its opening weekend from six theaters; its per-screen-average of $91,751 was the best of 2024 (topping Kinds of Kindness' $75,458 average), and the second-best since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (after Asteroid City's $142,230).[40][41] Expanding to 34 theaters in its sophomore weekend, the film made $908,830 and finished in eighth place.[42] Continuing its expansion, the film made $1.8 million from 253 theaters and $2.5 million from 1,104 in its third and fourth weekends.[43][44]
Critical response
[edit]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 95% of 289 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.6/10. The website's consensus reads: "Another marvelous chronicle of America's strivers by writer-director Sean Baker given some extra pizzazz by Mikey Madison's brassy performance, Anora is a romantic drama on the bleeding edge."[45] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 91 out of 100, based on 62 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[46] On AlloCiné, the film received an average rating of 4.2 out of 5, based on 45 reviews, from French critics.[47]
Greta Gerwig, serving as the president of the 77th Cannes Film Festival Jury, commented that "[Anora] was something we collectively felt we were transported by, we were moved by [...] It felt both new and in conversation with older forms of cinema. There was something about it that reminded us of [the] classic structures of Lubitsch or Howard Hawks, and then it did something completely truthful and unexpected."[48]
Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair wrote: "[Anora is] a wild, profane blast [...] Even when Baker's storytelling and dialogue gets repetitive, Madison keeps things lively [...] I found myself torn between finding Baker's conclusions compassionate and sensing a vague whiff of something patronizing. [...] Baker's explorations of outsiders tend to tread between graciousness and gawking, benevolent anthropology and the more malevolent, missionary kind."[49]
Justin Chang of The New Yorker wrote: "Anora plays like a wild dream—first joyous, then catastrophic, and always fiercely unpredictable [...] A contemporary return to screwball tradition is a welcome but challenging proposition, and Baker's play with the form is hardly seamless. [Anora] built up a righteous steam of fury, now unleashes it against the Ivans of the world and salutes those toiling thanklessly in their employ."[12] Sight and Sound named Anora the second-best film of 2024,[50] and Film Comment named it one of the ten best.[51]
