Despite some differing views on the movie, Sean Baker’s Anora was undeniably a standout and widely discussed film in 2024. Consequently, it came as little shock that it received multiple nominations when this year’s Oscar nominees were revealed recently.
The movie has previously won one of the most prestigious film honors, the Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival under Greta Gerwig’s leadership, and is aiming to collect a few Academy Awards this coming March.
Despite The Brutalist being seen as the current front-runner for the Best Picture trophy, it’s certainly not out of contention yet. Meanwhile, its leading actress, Mikey Madison, is aiming to compete against Demi Moore for the Best Actress accolade.
Haven’t watched Anora yet, but I’m eager to find out if it’s worthy of winning an award? Here’s all you need to learn about how to catch the movie – keep reading!
How to watch Anora – is it streaming?
Initially shown in UK theaters in November 2024, the movie is now accessible on multiple Premium Video On Demand services.
You can easily purchase and download the movie for £11.99 across various digital platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Sky Store, and Apple TV.
It’s uncertain if the movie will appear on popular streaming platforms with subscriptions in the future, but we’ll make sure to inform you about any new developments as they happen.
If you’re keen on watching the movie in a theater, you might just get your wish – it’s still playing in selected cinemas across the nation, and there’s a possibility that additional screenings could be arranged prior to the Oscars due to its nominations.
What is Anora about?
The movie, strongly influenced by the classic screwball comedy style, narrates the story of Ani (played by Mikey Madison). In a rapid-fire courtship, she ties the knot with Vanya, who is the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch.
In my opinion, the story takes an unexpected turn for the worse when my father finds out about the wedding. In a surprising twist, he dispatches a band of tough guys with orders to sabotage the union, and matters grow even more complicated as Vanya mysteriously vanishes without a trace.
A young lady named Anora, hailing from Brooklyn, experiences her own fairytale-like journey when she encounters and weds the offspring of a wealthy magnate.
When word gets back to Russia, the fairy tale they know may be in jeopardy. The parents are planning a journey to New York City in an attempt to have their marriage invalidated.
Anora cast – who stars in the film?
In this production, Mikey Madison, famed for her roles in Scream and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, shines brilliantly as the main character. Her outstanding portrayal has earned her numerous accolades and even an Academy Award nomination.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that our actress isn’t the sole cast member up for an Academy Award. In fact, Yura Borisov, our talented Russian actor portraying Igor, has been recognized with a Best Supporting Actor nomination as well.
