Sean Baker has made films about Americans living on the fringe of a society that wants yet rejects them.

Anora is outrageous, sexy, and hilarious.

Mikey Madison's body is on display, performing steamy dances and pole work in long shots.

The emotional arc of the story is more than being a bully or a buffoon.

Anora is hands down one of the year 's best.

Yura Borisov is superb in Anora .

The supporting cast is terrifically grounded in Baker 's Brooklyn of bumbling intimidation and reckless lust.

The film moves further and further from the conventions of a mafia drama or a Hollywood happy ending, into a path that is Baker 's to chart.
