Anora (2024) *****

Sean Baker's greatest film to date, a tarantinesque mix of "Pretty Woman" and "After Hours", starring Mikey Madison in a fearless performance as a tough-as-nails hooker who sees her Cinderella dreams crashing and burning in the most unexpected ways.

Kinds Of Kindness (2024) *****

Yorgos Lanthimos' greatest film to date, a constantly surprising cinematic puzzle of the highest order.
