MANILA, PHILIPPINES — This January, Ayala Malls Cinemas invites moviegoers to an exclusive cinematic experience with Anora, an award-winning film from director Sean Baker.
Set in the gritty yet glamorous backdrop of New York and the opulent world of Russian elites, Anora tells the story of a Brooklyn sex worker whose life takes an unexpected turn after a whirlwind marriage to the son of a Russian oligarch. However, the dream unravels as familial obligations and power dynamics collide. Starring Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, and Vache Tovmasyan, the film blends sharp humor, emotional depth, and captivating performances into an unforgettable anti-fairytale.

Anora was first announced as part of the QCinema line-up, much to the anticipation of film festival-goers. The film sold out most screenings for the duration of the festival, and received rave reviews from critics and the general audience. Manila Bulletin praises the film, writing, “It’s sexy, it’s disturbing, it’s laugh-out-loud funny, and it’s poignant. There are not many films around that can claim to take us successfully through so many moods and emotions.”
