Anora

Translated from swedish: "Anora" is an intoxicating and intense experience. Not least, it's one of the year's best films.
- Daniel Hånberg Alonso

Translated from swedish: This is thanks to the script by Sean Baker, but also the performance by Mikey Madison. I think these two will collaborate again in the future because it's like they complement each other perfectly. I just want to go to the cinema again and see this masterpiece and go through all the emotions again together with Anora.

Translated from swedish: I find myself at a loss for words to truly describe this cinematic experience, other than to say it's one of the year's best films, if not the absolute best. Despite all the violence, sex, and profanity, the movie somehow still manages to feel almost wholesomely Hollywood-like, wrapped as it is in so much charm and storytelling joy. Well, you'll just have to see for yourselves.

Translated from swedish: That "Anora" isn't the feminist corrective to the Cinderella myth that many seem to want it to be is because reality doesn't look like that.

Translated from swedish: Sean Baker has previously portrayed sex workers with tenderness, warmth and understanding, and here he sharpens the clash between the haves and have-nots with sharp humor. As an audience, you suffer and cheer for Anora and her fight for dignity. And Mikey Madison is phenomenally expressive in the lead role.

Translated from swedish: Tough on the outside and soft on the inside. Which in many ways sums up the film as a whole. Beneath the rough exterior, you can sense something of the director's sentimental side. As soon as the acute fight for survival is over, hope emerges that change is possible — even for girls as world-weary as Ani.

Translated from swedish: Movies with strictly established stereotypes and Cinderella stories about the prostitute who snags a rich man's love are a transaction. We know what to expect. Baker gives us reality, where a few are so wealthy that their worthless, toxic spawn can do whatever they want. Everyone else has to take whatever scraps fall down.

Translated from swedish: A romance beyond all rhyme and reason

Translated from swedish: Despite the seriousness, grand drama, and tragedy, there are also generous doses of dark humor that go hand in hand with the rest of the film. "Anora" is therefore surprisingly entertaining on many occasions, which must be seen as one of the year's biggest surprises.

Translated from swedish: One of the year's funniest – and saddest – films
- Mikael Ekman Isholt

Swedish: vk.se »

Translated from swedish: The film can be summarized as a typical fairy tale. A young woman meets a young wealthy gentleman, whose parents oppose their marriage. To remedy the situation, they send three men to bring him home, where the entire sequence of events is spiced up with explosive action, sex, partying, and colorful touches that have become Baker's signature over time.

Translated from swedish: "Anora" has been universally acclaimed and was even awarded the Palme d'Or at Cannes. While the acting is impressively high-caliber and the story delivers frenzy, screwball comedy, and drama, there's something that rubs you the wrong way. The film is certainly compassionate, but ultimately it's a finger-pointing observation that everything around us is a transaction. Some of us are just better at seeing it than others.

Translated from swedish: Some are treated to entertaining complications, but any ambitions to capture a sex worker's living conditions and emotional life fail miserably.
