If you can get past the foul language, excessive sex scenes, and violence, the film paints a compelling picture of a sad (though humorous in a twisted kind of way) and far-too-common a reality; nicely juxtaposing the psychoses prevalent at both extremes of any severely class based society in terms of the impact on its members; and subtly hitting the nail on the head in terms of its implicit global economic analysis. Bravo!

| Summary | Contemporary cinema's foremost chronicler of American dreamers and schemers hustling on the margins of capitalist promise, Sean Baker, reaches new heights of mastery with this audacious anti Cinderella story a whirlwind neorealist screwball comedy with an aching heart. In an electric, star-is-born performance, Mikey Madison soars as Anora, an enterprising, ferociously foulmouthed Brooklyn erotic dancer and sex worker whose Prince Not-So-Charming comes along in the form of a Russian oligarch's wild-child son. |
