ANORA – SEAN BAKER’S BOLD, REALIST TAKE ON LOVE, POWER, AND SURVIVAL
Anora is a wildly entertaining yet deeply human story that blends humor, heartbreak, and class struggle in a way only Sean Baker can.

Both gripping and darkly comedic, the film strips away fairy-tale illusions, leaving us with a raw, unfiltered look at survival in an unforgiving world.
