Stripper of a decade, retired.
Using the old shoes is a wonderful detail. Our shoes get BEAT.
Also, the first move was my favorite. Its fun to do.
I love this. She’s great.

[sofiaverdeja]

I love how she thought of every little detail to bring to life her character, I’m so glad she won best actress

[robotdowney]

Exactly. You often can see very new clothes on characters that don't make sense. A lot of characters are not that rich.

[namratapadhee]

This is such a small thing but makes such a big difference. I personally think this adds a lot to the character. Considering Ani has been using these regularly for pleasing her customers, it only makes sense for them to look more lived in. The girl won't have a new pair for every client of course, so it only makes sense.

This girl is going to blow up. She’s is so talented.

[Yesmamaserve]

It’s the details and research she puts into her roles that’s gonna make her one of the future greats like you don’t see younger actress OR actors have such passion & dedicated to their craft like this often so no wonder Mikey is already the new in-demand actress

[AvaAPalma]

I want her to record an audio book her voice is so beautiful

[LA-gqlb]

Mickey I will watch all of your projects!! Her talent and passion have won me over, so happy for her

That’s an awesome detail! Just shows how truly committed she was to this movie 😢❤❤

[SOBEKCrocodileGod]

God I wish that were me in that first clip

[Tia.K.C]

This woman is next level. Definitely deserved an Oscar 👏🏽

100 percent. I always pay attention to the shoes to see if there new or used

[TheChippedpaint]

And I’m more excited to finally see a dab rig in a major film.

[pinkparis]

She put so much detail into her character. This is just tip of the iceberg. I've seen many interviews with her. Imagine what she brings to future roles. And again, she's able to play characters that are NOTHING like her. I can't wait to see what she does next.

[joaoluizfonseca]

she’s so gorgeous tho, and so talented

[Loveryan]

I just saw Anora and Mikkey deserved that Oscar!! She was amazing.

[rebekahengland]

i love this. i hate in movies when everything is brand new

[senseshchepin]

Now that's exemplary dedicated acting

[ragingtomato]

All that dedication to the character and people just say "just a stripper movie" 😭

Edit: For those who are saying it is "just a stripper", why don't you actually finish watching the freaking movie and realise that rather than "just a stripper movie", it's a story of class struggle and humanizing marginalized people?

Girl idc about Anora, it was a good story but The Substance got robbed
