Do you complain that all theaters show is superhero movies and dumb shit? 

Then go see Anora. It's complex, fun, emotional and wacky. 

Plus lots of nudity.

Go see Anora if you want to see more movies like Anora in theaters.

Saw it with my wife two weeks ago. We both liked it. I wondered aloud how it avoided a NC-17 rating as we walked out of the theater.

Fucking this. I can’t unsee her in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. 

Go see Anora and it will clear that right up for you.

Decent film. Amazing performance.  

I don't get the Oscar buzz and quality but then again that's normal for me. 

I expected shit to go dark and the Armenians just stayed pg13 nice

Watched this over the weekend.  I thought it was a good movie but I don't really think it was Best Picture worthy.  Was last year a weak year for movies???

saw it today. it was very different from what i expected knowing only the basic plot points, and that's always a plus. 

the lack of exposition in the story was really interesting, made it feel more like an immersive experience, we're just dropped into her life and go with her from there.

i really liked the ending, very strong. 

no issue with her winning... but as a whole it certainly didn't knock my socks off like Dune2. so wasn't the best movie of the year for me for sure, but i did enjoy it.

That’s a great description and really sums up how I felt about it when I walked out of the theater.

I thought the first half was tedious. The entry of the good Armenian was the start of something good. The ending was very good. 

Shouting "What the fuck!?!" a hundred times or more is a beating on the ears.

Overall: Poor.

I thought the Mexican movie was far better in every way.

I love gratuitous nudity as much as everyone else but I didn’t think the movie was great until the Armenians entered the picture. Toros made it pretty funny. I didn’t see many of the best picture nominees but it must’ve been a pretty weak year if that was best picture. Have no problem with Madison winning best actress.

that reminds me...we went to an afternoon matinee to see it and there were maybe 10 people total in the theater... including an elderly couple at the end of our row. 

they made it through the strip club intro montage, maybe 12-15 minutes? the first cut where we went from really loud music/shouting to a quiet shot we clearly heard them in the middle of a loud conversation "...naked! didn't she supposedly win best actress??"

and they proceeded to get up and leave 😆

like i get not knowing details or being surprised by a particular story direction (e.g., i expected more of a 'Russian mob' type story myself where she was in literal physical danger and was super surprised and enjoyed that it went a completely different direction!) but in this day and age, how are you still surprised by nudity in an R-rated movie about a literal SEX WORKER and a Russian oligarch?? 😆
