Anora (2024) - 7/10
You know me well enough by now to know that I'm going to say that they should have got a fitter bird. But, actually, should they? Strippers are always nice looking from afar but always have a bit of a face concern as you get up close. Not that I know many strippers, nor do I frequent their establishments, obviously. But you know what I mean. In casting for this role they needed someone who had a majestic arse - because, let's be real, that's the most important thing - who could dance and also speak Russian. So they've actually done quite well with the casting. I mean, she won the fucking Osacar for her performance, so who the fuck am I to question it. But this is a decent film; very original, which I like. There's also lots of shagging, plenty of laughs and a tremendously liberal use of the word fuck, all of which I also like. But ultimately it gives you a glimpse into two worlds you don't normally see; that of a spoilt rich Russian prick and that of a stripper, which, as you may guess, is a rags‑to‑riches tale that ultimately gets very sad. And, again, if you know me at all by now, you'll now that melancholy is what really gets me off.
