Anora, winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, flooded award nomination lists this season. And we couldn't be more thrilled. A Cinderella story that doesn't quite go the way you'd expect, Anorawas our favorite film of 2024. Its lead, Mikey Madison, is now a certified star. She secured the BAFTA award for Best Leading Actress in February then went on to take home the Academy Award for Best Actress.

As of March 17, it's gracing the streaming world for all to see. Here's everything you need to know to watch Anoraat home.

What is Anoraabout?

Mikey Madison stars as sex worker Anora — call her Ani — whose professional relationship with her young Russian client Ivan (Mark Eydelshtyen), the son of an oligarch, quickly turns into a wedding in Vegas. Ivan's wealthy parents aren't thrilled with the news and they make a visit to Brooklyn, alongside their cronies, to try to put an end to the marriage. It's up to Ani to fight for what she wants. "To borrow from another 2024 cinematic sex worker — she will notaccept a life she does not deserve," Mashable film editor Kristy Puchko summarizes.

Check out the official trailer for a sneak peek:

Is Anoraworth watching?

Not only do we think Anorais one of indie writer/director Sean Baker's best films yet, but we also think it's the best movie of 2024. "Anorais magnificently alive. Madison is its shining star, her charisma absolute as she wields a Brooklyn accent like a whip to dazzle with or wreak havoc as she sees fit," Mashable's Kristy Puchko writes in her review, adding that it's "as bold as it is brilliant." Other critics largely agree, with the film earning a glowing 93 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 89 percent audience rating.

Anorawas nominated for six Oscars at the 97th Academy Awards and took home five of them — including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Lead Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. See what the hype is about when it hits streaming — we can't recommend it enough.
