Why The Dad Laughs At Ani In The Annulment Scene At The End Of Anora

Anora concludes with a now-famous, tragic final scene, but before that is the very memorable and just as important confrontation between Ani (Mikey Madison) and her husband's family. Depicting the story of a sex worker who has a runaway marriage to a Russian oligarch's son, Anora swept at the 2025 Oscars and has cemented itself as director Sean Baker's best movie. This is in no small part due to the breathtaking performance by Mikey Madison leading Anora's cast, playing the utterly fearless Ani, and winning Best Lead Actress over Demi Moore and Fernanda Torres for her work.
