Reviews
- "Splenetically hilarious for more than two hours before reality catches up with it in the film’s unforgettable final scene, ANORA has next to nothing to do with romance, and almost everything to do with the kind of working-class heartache that a modern Hollywood studio would never even try to get right."
- IndieWire - "A wildly entertaining, modern-day screwball comedy ... Baker continually ups the ante on the picture’s unruly humour and propulsive pacing."
- Screen Daily - "Baker’s subversively romantic, free-wheeling sex farce makes "Pretty Woman" look like a Disney movie."
- Variety - "ANORA is Sean Baker's most searing and shattering film yet with a breakout performance from Mikey Madison."
- Collider - "A thoroughly fun and provocative time at the movies."
- TheWrap - "Baker controls the narrative with real aplomb, crafting a time-bomb mix of physical comedy and high drama. Better still, the final third alights on real pathos."
