Is Anora on Netflix UK? How to watch the 2025 Best Picture winner — Mikey Madison · 5 Academy Awards · Cannes Palme d'Or — Plus buy the poster from £3

🎬 Is Anora on Netflix UK?

Not on Netflix UK. Anora (2024) is a Neon Pictures release — an independent US distributor whose UK streaming partnerships are with Sky. As of May 2026 it is scheduled for Sky Cinema UK but the most reliable current access is digital rental: rent Anora for £3.49 on Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Rakuten TV or Sky Store. No subscription needed — just £3.49 and 139 minutes.

Anora won five Academy Awards on 2 March 2025: Best Picture, Best Director (Sean Baker), Best Actress (Mikey Madison), Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing. It also won the Cannes Palme d'Or in May 2024, making it only the third film in cinema history to win both the Palme d'Or and the Academy Award for Best Picture in the same cycle — after It Happened One Night (1934) and Marty (1955).

🎬 Anora — The Best Picture Winner That Surprised Everyone

Anora (2024), written and directed by Sean Baker, follows Ani (Mikey Madison), a young sex worker from Brooklyn who meets and rapidly marries Vanya Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn), the sweet-natured, impulsive, comprehensively irresponsible son of a Russian oligarch. When Vanya's parents learn of the marriage, their fixer Toros (Karren Karagulian) and his associates arrive to have it annulled. What follows is a 139-minute film that begins as a screwball comedy, passes through physical farce, and ends as something that sits in your chest for days.

Baker describes Anora as a screwball comedy in the tradition of It Happened One Night and His Girl Friday. The comparison is accurate: the film operates at the speed and tonal range of the classic screwball tradition while being set in a contemporary economic and social reality — the specific collision between Ani's working-class Brooklyn world and the world of oligarchic wealth — that Capra and Hawks were not navigating. The film's moral is not comfortable and its ending is not happy in the conventional sense, which is why it is a great film rather than a pleasant one.

Mikey Madison — The Performance of the Year

Mikey Madison's Anora won the Academy Award for Best Actress, the BAFTA for Best Actress and effectively every other major acting prize of the 2024/2025 cycle. Madison — previously in small roles in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and the Scream franchise — carries every scene of a 139-minute film as a character whose street-smart self-sufficiency, romantic susceptibility and ultimate resilience are the film's entire emotional argument. The final scene is entirely Madison's achievement: a single sustained take of approximately three minutes, no dialogue in the final two minutes, six emotional shifts without a cut.

Yura Borisov as Igor — The Film's Heart

Yura Borisov's Igor — one of Toros's associates, a large taciturn Russian man who becomes Ani's unlikely companion during the film's chaotic second act — is the finest supporting performance of 2024. Igor observes Ani's situation with a clarity and a moral awareness that none of the film's more powerful characters possess. His eventual moments of action, both physical and emotional, land with disproportionate force because Borisov has spent 90 minutes making Igor's restraint visible as restraint rather than absence.
