Anora ending spoilers follow.

Actress Mikey Madison from the series Anora has shared insights about her character’s mental state in the last scene of the movie.

In a film nominated for an Oscar, we follow the story of Ani, a prostitute who ties the knot with the son of a powerful Russian businessman. However, their marriage unfortunately disintegrates for several reasons. As fate would have it, Ani develops a bond with Igor, their bodyguard. During a moment when they are about to make love, they instead share a passionate kiss, causing Ani to burst into tears.

In an interview with Hits Radio, Madison shared that the scene represented a cathartic release of all her character’s experiences, and she feels that Ani and Igor’s relationship is genuine, not merely reactive.

Man, just look at all that’s gone down for me in such a short span, it’s mind-boggling. I’ve got this whirlwind of feelings churning inside – heartache, pain, rage, and frustration. I’ve kept ’em bottled up tight though, like a cork on a stormy sea.

As I delved into the scene, my mind was a whirlwind of concentration, striving to grasp her thoughts and emotions. Yet, the burden of responsibility weighed heavily upon me. I yearned to portray her authentically, to convey her essence in some form or fashion.

In my opinion, the movie primarily revolves around forming unforeseen bonds, and it appears that she eventually establishes a profound, wordless connection with Igor.

“And so I don’t know, I was just trying to be in the headspace of the character.”
