Anora made a strong impression earlier this year. After premiering at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, the film earned multiple accolades, including several Golden Globe nominations. Now, it has secured multiple Academy Award nominations.
Ahead of the 97th Annual Academy Awards, find out how to stream Anora at home if you haven’t seen it in theaters yet. Hollywood Life has all the details below.
What Is Anora About?
Anora‘s official synopsis reads, “Anora, a sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.”
The movie is a romantic comedy, focusing on Anora’s whirlwind marriage and her relationship with her husband’s family.
Where to Watch the Anora Movie
Anora is currently available for streaming on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and YouTube, though there is a fee to watch on these platforms.
The film was distributed by Neon, whose past productions typically hit digital streaming services a few months after their theatrical releases. According to Elle, Neon has a deal with Hulu, so subscribers can expect Anora to be available on the platform in “early 2025.”
Who Is in the Cast of Anora?
Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan, Aleksei Serebryakov, and Darya Ekamasova are all featured in the cast.
Madison, who portrays the titular character Anora, has earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, while Borisov has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Notably, Borisov has also become the first Russian actor to be nominated in a performance category since 1977.
Who Is Mikey Madison?
Madison has already appeared in several well-known projects. Her two most famous roles so far were in Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood and 2022’s Scream. In both villainous roles, Madison is defeated in a literal blaze of glory: being burned alive and screaming.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in 2022 about her fiery roles, Madison made it clear that she was ready to move on from devious killer characters.
“I think I’m pretty much done with that. Two is enough,” she quipped at the time. “It’s funny. Honestly, I saw them as two completely different characters with that random coincidence.”
Although both of her roles were considered similar by audiences, Madison pointed out that she, in reality, is “very different from the characters [she’s] played and the projects [she’s] done.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever done a project where I feel similar to the character,” Madison added.
