In the Vegas scene, a character refers to “McCarran Airport”
Story
Anora, a young sex worker from Brooklyn, spontaneously meets and marries the son of an oligarch. When the news reaches Russia, his fairytale is in jeopardy when his parents travel to New York to annul the marriage. Sean Baker wanted to cast Yura Borisov after seeing him in Hytti nro 6 (2021). While Las Vegas International Airport was known as McCarran International Airport for decades, its name was changed to Harry Reid International Airport in late 2021.
Mentioned in close-up: Anora (2024)

The last scene really grabbed me
(UK), under license from Universal Music Enterprises. I really learned more about Anne’s character in the last few minutes than I did in the rest of the film combined. The huge amount of mindless softcore porn in the opening act was a stark contrast to this moment of vulnerability. While this contrast was an obvious directorial choice, I honestly hate it.
The result is underwhelming and tasteless
Without this masterful scene, the film would be a decent comedy. Without the humor, this film could have been a masterful drama. The film would have been more tolerable if it had been edited for time. This video shows what happens when a great chef tries to use every spice on the shelf.
