Spoiler alert Luna!! lol. I am not saying the movie is saying that, I am saying reviewers talk about this idea. Some have said could Pretty Woman be made today or is Anora the 2024 equivalent. I am going to try to find sometime this week to see it. The initial release in USA was only 6 theaters and each theater did over 100k in box office. So be interested to see what it gets in a wider release and as word of mouth and marketing spreads.I understand why that would be bothering you, but you have to go see the movie to judge it. It's not about someone finding her knight in shining armour, quite the opposite lol. That's not what actually ends up happening at all. The character is also very young, and there is commentary on social class and how people want to get out of the situation that they are in. I don't blame a young stripper for wanting to marry a rich attractive guy her age and not have to work again in that industry honestly.. but that isn't what happens in the movie. Anora is an average young woman like other girls her age who wants to have fun and believes in fairy tales. You can't blame her for believing what is being promised to her.
Makes sense. but not all his movies are about escorts. Anora is a stripper. He made a movie about an aging male porn actor. In the Florida Project the mom is a stripper. The only movie he made with a character who is explicitly an escort is Tangerine. My criticism of his movies are that they are really disconnected from his own personal reality...
