2024 Palme d'Or Winner!!
Directed by Sean Baker (The Florida Project, Tangerine)
Sean Baker's Palme d'Or winner Anora is an audacious, thrilling, and comedic variation on a modern day Cinderella story. Mikey Madison (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) captivates as Ani, a young sex worker from Brooklyn whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets and impulsively marries Vanya, the impetuous son of a Russian billionaire. However, when Vanya's parents catch wind of the union, they send their henchmen to annul the marriage, setting off a wild chase through the streets of New York.
Anora Film Reviews
"Sometimes a movie actually earns the old cliché of a 'star-making turn,' and I’m here to say that Sean Baker’s 'Anora' is this year’s star maker." - Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times
"Like Mikey Madison’s title character, Anora is pretty, messy, witty, wild, and highly competent, one of the funniest, saddest, and best films of the year." - Dylan Roth, Observer
"At this point in his career, Baker has cultivated his own style of breathless, relentlessly pressurized urban realism, and Anora is as assured a piece of filmmaking as you’re likely to see this year." - Adam Nayman, The Ringer
