Watched a screening in Berlin January 6, 2025.
This movie is a fantastic achievement. It creates its own dimension of sadness, which was difficult to bear but for me turned into a cathartic experience for which I am grateful.
As for another user review: Our mistakes and how we deal with them are what interests me in such a work of art. How close narrative, the hybrid form and acting get to real life achieves quite an emotional impact. In comparison, even though it is a masterpiece in its own right, for me "Anora" pales.
Before I saw it, the title and referencing Laura Nyro seemed very self-confident, bordering on presumptuousness. But it does not fail this ambition.
