Anora begins as a fantasy-tinged teenage romance, but the first half-hour feels flat and unengaging. Then, the fantasy element is abruptly dropped, and the real fun begins. This middle section is the most engaging, though I suspect some viewers won't appreciate the blend of comedy with tense situations. Unfortunately, the final half-hour becomes entirely predictable, and the overall plotline feels rather thin.
There are still notable positives. The filmmakers attempted something rare-embedding a sad story within the exuberant personality of Ani (Anora). The colors and atmosphere remain vibrant throughout most of the film, which makes the tonal contrast at the dull-colored ending even more striking. That's a commendable visual choice.
As for the Best Picture Oscar win? I'm not entirely opposed-perhaps the Academy saw something I didn't. Given the general quality of recent cinema, maybe it earned that title. But Best Screenplay and Best Director? No, I can't agree there. The Best Actress win is harder to judge without comparing to the other nominees, so it might be fair. As for the Best Supporting Actor nomination-it felt like a standard comedic performance, nothing particularly award-worthy.
