lip’s review published on Letterboxd:
I'm like... twenty minutes trying to write something about anora, but I simply just can't explain what I felt seeing it. I mean, the total amount of pain she felt in just 24 hours were enough to ruin a whole week. and I kept saying "she won't go mad with him??" or "she won't hit him??" IS SHE REALLY GONNA HANDLE ALL OF THIS WELL?? and she did. I mean, the whole fucking time she didn't lost her hope, she preferred to believe in his beautiful fairytale when it was perfectly clear that he was just a spoiled child. ani is such a complex character. the whole movie I felt like she was going to explode, but she handled the situation like a wife who loves her husband, and that's why the ending scene was so sad, symbolic, and probably the most deep. I mean, she was just a girl. that was the most rollercoaster kind of movie I've ever seen, sad but totally disguised with this frantic narrative that doesn't let you breathe, because ani doesn't want you to see anora, and mikey madison does it perfectly.
also, I love the fact that we don't know ANYTHING about him, about his parents, and we don't get any explanations, this just makes everything better, maybe that's why I was so pissed off like ani. the contrast between the first and the second part is just wonderful, things can get bad very quickly.
the scene where she looks out of the mansion window... that's the real world babe.
