Anora was the big winner at the Oscars a week ago, securing awards for best picture, actress, and director, among others. This major achievement puts the movie in the spotlight and increases interest through both legal and illegal channels. Fresh data collected by TorrentFreak shows that pirate downloads surged right after the awards ceremony ended.
Xianshi ( @Xianshi@lemm.ee ) English2•3 days agoThis movie is shit, I’d actually choose to watch ads instead. It is that bad. The fact this garbage won so many awards is just absurd.

miss_demeanour ( @miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English21•7 days agoOverrated movie.
Random Dent ( @CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml ) English2•5 days agoI didn’t think it was a bad movie at all, but definitely not Oscar-sweeping good.
djsaskdja ( @djsaskdja@reddthat.com ) English8•7 days agoI remember seeing the trailer for it about a year before it came out. Think it was during the coming attractions for a different indie film. My initial reaction was like wow that looks horrible. Like I assumed it’d be a campy romp that might find an audience, but maybe 25% on RT max. No one was more shocked than me to see it winning 5 Oscars including best picture lmao.
miss_demeanour ( @miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•7 days agoIt’s a ‘Pretty Woman’ knockoff without a Cinderella, and the usual cliche inept/empathetic/sinister characters blah, blah, shite.
dependencyinjection ( @dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de ) English6•7 days agoI enjoyed it.
It’s odd that you would call anything subjective overrated.
miss_demeanour ( @miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English7•7 days agoThe ‘winning’ of the Oscar is subjective. The ‘fact’ that it won an Oscar isn’t subjective.
Hence, I’m calling that ‘fact’ an overrate.It’s weird that you find it weird. That’s subjective.
Nanook ( @Nanook@lemm.ee ) English3•7 days agoYeah I had to force my self to finish watching, hoping the ending would redeem the movie.
kusivittula ( @kusivittula@sopuli.xyz ) English1•7 days agoi almost quit during that crazy screaming scene in the living room
Bobby Turkalino ( @turkalino@lemmy.yachts ) English3•7 days agoIt’s weird because Best Picture is usually given to movies that aren’t necessarily entertaining but are artistically interesting. Not sure what is artistically interesting about a romance movie, the genre is just cheesy comfort entertainment
pr06lefs ( @pr06lefs@lemmy.ml ) English3•7 days agoyeah that cheesy comfort ending in this movie… not
sanzky ( @sanzky@beehaw.org ) English2•6 days agolike Crash and Shakespeare in Love?
mysticpickle ( @mysticpickle@lemmy.ca ) English1•6 days agoHow in the living fuck did Shakespeare in Love win over Shawshank Redemption?
Wahots ( @Wahots@pawb.social ) English2•7 days agoA lot of the top movies got mixed reviews from friends and family. I saw some that were meh. Hope next year has some better ones.
pr06lefs ( @pr06lefs@lemmy.ml ) English6•7 days agoGood movie! Anora the stripper and the bodyguard are two sides of the same coin - competent yet powerless underlings warped by their relationship with the powerful rich.
Nursery2787 ( @Nursery2787@lemmy.ml ) English2•6 days agoGreat movie. 🍿
