Anora

2024

★★★★ Liked

Anora is hilarious. It looks a bit like a commercial for a travel agent and has a bunch of Armenians desperately failing to fulfill their orders in a Home Alone type slapstick disaster. How it merges the comedic aspects with its dramatic flourishes is inspired and allows for some great theatrics. The only way the film doesn't satisfy is in the underlying themes which feel unexplored in favour of a lighter tone. There are hints at a deeper message even if it can never quite grasp it between the antics. The ending gets close but it feels like there was never enough of a respite from the comedy to allow that ending its proper impact. I don't think we really know Anora by the end. I had a good time.
