A black comedy that is neither dark enough nor funny enough.
The romantic, sweet-natured film has the feel of cringe comedy, but only on the surface.
If directing is 90% casting, then that is the main reason why Anora remains engaging through its ups and downs.
A tender, occasionally aching film, with an appealing cast and pretty locations.
Adam Schimberg’s atmospheric film is a winding ride, peppered with black comedy and ambiguity.
The comedy’s title refers to the psychological and emotional state of its characters during a pandemic. (Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?)
If you really want to punish David Zaslav for shelving Coyote vs. Acme, you’ll seek out Hundreds of Beavers wherever it’s playing.
