Reviews

‘Every character in Anora might be an utter nightmare, but they’re also a joy to spend time with, and the cast understand them down to their smallest behavioural tells.’
★★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

‘… The story reaches a new pitch of Coen brothers-style black comedy. Then, just when you think you have it worked out, Baker hits you with a final scene of sobering poignancy.’
★★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times
