Leo Pernia is the reason this lands

There is something pretty interesting about how Leo Pernia fits into Anora (2024). There is a nice lived-in quality to it, nothing too forced. It is the kind of performance that quietly makes the movie sturdier. The small reactions do a lot of the heavy lifting. I bought the character pretty quickly, which is not always easy in this kind of film. That is the part I kept thinking about after the movie ended.
