The film has received six Academy Awards nominations, including Best Picture.
But here’s the thing: “Anora” shouldn’t win Best Picture.
If I’m being totally honest … it shouldn’t even have been nominated.
Simply, the movie falls apart once the goons arrive.
“Anora” is marketed as and talked about as a dark comedy.
I’ll put out some praise here.
The cinematography in his films is always great.
But in “Anora,” after the Russians show up, it’s a repetitive drawl.
The opening act of sex, drugs, repeat at least had pace.
Any pace is utterly destroyed as Ani and the goons attempt to track down Vanya.
Somehow we’ve landed in “The Hangover” with fewer laughs.
The conversational volume in “Anora” is set to 11 and never really comes back down.
I find that boring.
