Anora was the latest big hyped up film in the later half of the year that's gotten a lot of acclaim and has been one of my most excited films of the fall season and with a director I've never seen his previous work, this was something that should be interesting. In this video, Epictastic Joshua's Joshua Drake gives you his review of Anora and talks about why not only this was one of his favorites of the year but also why this mix of A Cinderella Story and Pretty Woman with an edge worked out for him as well as praise the performance of Mikey Madison. *Timecodes* 0:00 - cold opening/intro 0:23 - review starts/cast and crew & plot sypnosis 2:00 - my interest and curiosity 3:28 - disclaimers 4:38 - The Light (positives) 15:58 - The Dark (negatives) 17:06 - overall thoughts/rating and conclusion/outro #Anora #MikeyMadison Sypnosis Anora, a sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and marries the son of an oligarch.
