But you know something? I really hate living in an alleged movie culture that can’t be bothered to support a film as brilliant, vibrant and super-charged as Sean Baker‘s Anora. It’s sold a fair amount of tickets so far ($10,971,651 domestic, $20,809,023 worldwide) but last Saturday night I dropped by a Westport AMC just before a 9:30 pm showing, and I counted eight or nine people in the theatre.
Dammit, what’s wrong with you guys? Anora is a firecracker standout — it’s dealing the real, live-wire goods like few other films have this year — and you can’t be bothered to catch a Saturday night showing? It would have been one thing if there were 25 or 30 patrons at the 9:30 pm screening, but eight or nine?
