I would say 9/10 myself :) but I am brand new to sean baker, having just seen (and been transfixed by) the Florida Project just a couple days before seeing Anora.

Appreciate your analysis, especially about the final cathartic moment. For me, Anora was fully real and relatable at that moment: we finally witness a release of *her* soft/gentle physical pleasure and *her* raw, emotional pain from the recent events. She is deep there and then. That's enough for me.

Thank you for this insightful piece. What would you say are good example of films that do the opposite of what Baker does, i.e create emotion from a rich look at the character’s interiority? Or am I just describing most films lol.
