What’s a girl to do when opportunity falls slap bang into her lap dance? In this case, she should have probably taken the money and ran as fast as she could in the other direction. Unfortunately, when you’re living La vida loca in the back door of life, relying on your body to make a living, offers to sweep you off of your feet and take you away from all that is a temptation that can easily sway a person to make bad choices. Cinderella is not being rescued by a prince, putting a ring on it is a guarantee you’re in way over your head, and never mess with the oligarch’s son’s mama. She is not, I repeat, not on your side. This film is like getting on a roller coaster that quickly accelerates from this could be good to WTAF.
From personal experience many, many years ago, the turn of events is very familiar on so many levels, hence why I’m happily single, unmaimed, didn’t have to go to court or serve time for harboring an alien (5 years, $250,000 fine and yes, it’s a federal offense and I don’t think that’s changed in the past 55 years, and no, I wasn’t part of Anora’s world.). A lot of the dialogue is in Russian or Armenian with subtitles, sex, drugs, smoking, drinking, and violence in abundance, this is not an updated version of Pretty Woman. The actors, most notably Mikey Madison, Yura Borisov, and Mark Eydelshteyn, do a crack up job of convincing us that they know this world well. Rating: 3.5 stars - Nazdravi and may I see your green card please.
