[SPOILER]Your defense of the ridiculous movie is the subplot romance between Anora and her kidnapper who assaulted her that starts with 30 minutes left in the movie?  I think you are making my point.

It is not clear why we are supposed to care about the core romance.  While Vanya has some depth, he is an emotionally stunted adolescent in the body of a 25 year old.  Anora is pretty two dimensional for almost the entire movie.  They are just two immature 20-somethings that go on a multi-day bender in which Vanya pays Anora for her body.  No "relationship" is really ever established, which makes the emergence of Igor's feelings for Anora more pointless.  How could he establish any emotional connection to a woman who he has kidnapped and has been abusive to him for the entire time of their relationship.  Igor is a violent thug who hurts people, which makes him pretty unsympathetic.  We do know he likes Anora because there are multiple reaction shots of him staring at her, which is about the laziest way possible to show the development of a relationship.

The more I read defenses of this movie, the more I think it sucks.[/SPOILER]
