Best Picture
March 23, 2025
My (and Peter’s) idea of a perfect evening out was a late afternoon movie with friends followed by dinner in an ethnic restaurant, often Chinese. But between the debut of Covid, and the vast number of movies available on TV, I tend to watch movies on my sofa. Which brings me to “Anora”.
Winner of five academy awards, including best picture and best actress, it was a must-see. So, I watched with a friend the other night.
To our surprise, neither of us liked it. Nor did three other friends who told me they had seen it. But a fourth friend who actually knows something about movies—
She loved it.
My daughter, who had watched it and did not like it, told me it was like renting a porn video. So I won’t be wasting my time because seen one, seen them all.
