All Guild Reviews of "Anora"
Reimagination of 'Pretty Woman' With Some Twists
Indie director Sean Baker’s latest has a firm grip on the audience’s emotions.
A lot of the splendour in Sean Baker’s Anora lies in its treatment – where we might be shown one thing, but deliberately made to feel something else. For example, the film opens with a discomfiting panning shot featuring barely-clothed exotic dancers performing with neon lights around them. However, Baker scores this scene with a loud, winsome techno song taking what is a distressing visual of young women forced to work a job that fetishises them, and drains the self-pity out of it.
