In a scene in Vegas, a character mentions “McCarran Airport”
Story
Anora, a young sex worker in Brooklyn, meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. When the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale is threatened when his parents travel to New York to annul the marriage. 6 (2021).. Las Vegas International Airport was known as McCarran International Airport for decades, and its name was changed to Harry Reed International Airport in late 2021.. Igor: Please!
Mentioned in Close-Up: Anora (2024)
Stop! Shout!. Daddy AF is written and played by Catherine Slater (aka Slayyter). I watched one of the best movies this year. The Athens Festival night has begun, and we were lucky enough to catch Anora at the opening ceremony.
And let me tell you, this movie absolutely kills it
From the very first scene, you’re glued to the screen, and that feeling just doesn’t let up. As the movie went on, I thought, “Oh, we have to slow down at some point, right? Give us a break.” No, there are no breaks, no falls, not even a hint of slowing down. Anora has one of the best moves I’ve ever experienced in a movie. Anora, a Brooklyn sex worker and tough girl, meets the son of a Russian oligarch and marries him in a whirlwind of madness.
He’s the funniest guy I’ve seen in a while
But her fairy tale quickly turns into a nightmare when word reaches Russia and his parents do everything they can to have their wedding annulled. Lead actress Mike Madison, who plays Anora, is an absolute revelation. She effortlessly combines sexiness, femininity, childlike innocence, and toughness in a way that will leave you speechless. She’s going to go far, and don’t be surprised if you see her nominated for an Oscar. Personally, I’m giving Mark Eidelshtein, who plays the Russian son, a Best Supporting Actor nomination.
Anora is a slap in the face to the traditional fairy tale concept
It’s a modern Cinderella story that’s realistic, violent, cruel, funny, and ultimately sweet. In the real world, no prince will come to save you – you’ll have to pick up the pieces and raise your head… From Alien: Romulus to Road House, take a look back at some of our favorite posters from 2024.
