Anora was a fun watch, I’d guess that lots of people here would dig it
saw this, in a totally ridiculous american cinema with chairs that go all the way back until you're nearly lying down and a small popcorn that's bigger than my head. i don't really know what to make of this style of filmmaking. it feels really apparent that films is moving on. loads of good things about anora but the tonal shifts are strange and overall unsatisfying. i don't get what it's for, what it's trying to do to me.

i like that someone bothered to make a film about that russophone world of south ('south south') brooklyn. the thing about armenians trying to make sense of new york girls rang true.

both the films by him (sean baker) that i've seen have this thing going on of him being a rich man who's always been rich but who is massively sympathetic to poor people in america and wants to portray their lives. but in the end that's what it is, it's an outsider's perspective

in a few things i've seen recently there are bits where they show this kind of excessive sex in a way that's deliberately not sexy. harmony korine did the same thing in aggro drift.
