In a historic sweep of the Oscars, Sean Baker personally took home four of the night’s big prizes (a feat previously only accomplished by Walt Disney) for Best Original Screenplay, Best Directing, Best Editing, and Best Picture, and the Anora winner’s circle was joined by Mikey Madison (Best Actress) for her titular role in the film. The story of an exotic dancer in New York City who finds herself entangled in the menacing inner circle of a Russian oligarch, (by way of his son, her newlywed husband). Baker’s treatment of the material is empathetic, hilarious, energetic, and heartwarming, all while maintaining a razor sharp edge of tension, violence, and drama. Highly lauded and well-deserved, Baker’s place as a powerhouse of American indie cinema has been firmly and rightfully established.

Rating & Run Time: (PG) 2 hours
Release Year: 2024
Winner of this year’s Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, see Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow smolder and shine in a tale of controversy and connivance in the Holy See. When Cardinal Lawrence (Fiennes) is tasked with leading one of the world's most secretive and ancient events, the selection of a new Pope, he finds himself at the center of a web of conspiracies and intrigue that could shake the very foundation of the Catholic Church. The film is made to mirror many of the actual rituals involved with this historic process, while adding some salacious and very fun modern twists to the plot.
