[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the awards for Anora were kind of gross.  An industry awarding a former heroin addict for showcasing a young actress willing to do softcore porn scenes to raise her profile.  Because otherwise you really don’t get an award for being the 10000th actress to do a Brooklyn accent. [/quote]
Who is the former heroin addict?[/quote]

The director, Sean Baker.  He recovered from his heroin addiction and then proceeded to make film after film about sex workers.  In Anora, he cast Mikey Madison, then in her early 20s, to strip and perform graphic sex scenes and gyrations nude without an intimacy coordinator.  For this they are both rewarded by the entertainment industry.

Maybe it's his redemption but what a message that sends to young actresses.  Meanwhile better performances were overlooked.  [/quote]

Madison was offered and declined an intimacy coordinator. [/quote]

Yes, it’s true that the director let Madison decide whether she wanted an intimacy coordinator or not. But I also think that as a 25 year old trying to turn in the “raw” performance her director clearly wanted, was not really in a position to say she wanted one even if she really did. That’s a power imbalance there. [/quote]

I mean, do you have any proof of this? If you don’t have any inside information then it’s just your opinion.[/quote]

You can search for yourself about the interviews the director and Madison have given about the film. They are proud about the “rawness” of the film because it didn’t have an intimacy coordinator. And yes, I think it’s a power imbalance.

There’s also the fact that the director makes all his movies about sex workers and follows loads of OF women on his instagram. He seems like a bit of a red flag.[/quote]

He finalized the finalized the screenplay for Mikey after watching scream and once upon a time in Hollywood and referred to her as a "sexy teenager." There was a huge power imbalance imo as well. There should have been an IC not only for Mikey sake but other's as well. [/quote]

You prudes are basically the only ones saying this. [/quote]

You don’t read Reddit, obviously.[/quote]

God, no. Why would anyone?[/quote]

I love how the concept is so gaspworthy to you yet you waste your time in this cesspool.[/quote]

Well, apparently you spend your time in both places, so what does that say about you?[/quote]
