Anora
2024 Palme d'Or Winner
Directed by Sean Baker (The Florida Project, Tangerine)
Coming Soon to Hyland Cinema!
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
