Anora, a young sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at her own real-life Cinderella story when she meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as her new in-laws set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.
Trivia: The first American Palme d'Or winner since The Tree of Life (2011), and the first movie since Parasite (2019) to win both the Palme d'Or and Academy Award for Best Picture.
Phil’s review: The film that swept the Oscars, scooping Best Actress for Mikey Madison who turns in an extraordinary lead performance as Ani. She is supported by a perfectly cast collection of goofballs who will have you exploding with laughter, all the while scowling at the injustice of the familiar patriarchal, cultural and financial gaol in which Ani finds herself. How and where will the humanity emerge to resolve the hijinks?
