Can I watch ‘Anora’ at home? Here’s when and where it’s streaming.

UPDATE: Feb. 19, 2025, 5:25 p.m. EST This article has been updated with the streaming release details and the latest pricing and deals.

Anora, winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, is flooding award nomination lists this season. And we couldn’t be more thrilled. A Cinderella story that doesn’t quite go the way you’d expect, Anora is our favorite film of 2024. Its star, Mikey Madison, already secured the BAFTA award for Best Leading Actress, and the film is up for six Oscars as well. We won’t be surprised if it takes home the gold; we’ll be celebrating.

As of March 17, it’s gracing the streaming world for all to see. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Anora at home.

What is Anora about?

Mikey Madison stars as sex worker Anora — call her Ani — whose professional relationship with her young Russian client Ivan (Mark Eydelshtyen), the son of an oligarch, quickly turns into a wedding in Vegas. Ivan’s wealthy parents aren’t thrilled with the news and they make a visit to Brooklyn, alongside their cronies, to try to put an end to the marriage. It’s up to Ani to fight for what she wants. “To borrow from another 2024 cinematic sex worker — she will not accept a life she does not deserve,” Mashable film editor Kristy Puchko summarizes.

Is Anora worth watching?

Not only do we think Anora is one of indie writer/director Sean Baker‘s best films yet, but we also think it’s the best movie of 2024. “Anora is magnificently alive. Madison is its shining star, her charisma absolute as she wields a Brooklyn accent like a whip to dazzle with or wreak havoc as she sees fit,” Mashable’s Kristy Puchko writes in her review, adding that it’s “as bold as it is brilliant.” Other critics largely agree, with the film earning a glowing 94 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 90 percent audience rating.

It’s nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Lead Actress, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. We’ll be rooting it on during the Academy Awards ceremony on March 2. See what the hype is about when it hits streaming — we can’t recommend it enough.

Here are some of the platforms where you can purchase the film online:

When and where is Anora streaming?

Since the indie film distributor Neon has a deal with Hulu, we predicted Anora would make its streaming debut on the service in March 2025. We’re happy to announce that this was an accurate prediction. Anora is set to make its streaming debut on Hulu on March 17, 2025.

Hulu is surprisingly one of the most generous streamers for newbies, as it offers a free 30-day trial. Subscriptions start at $9.99 per month, but we’ve also rounded up a few different ways you can save on your subscription below.

The best Hulu streaming deals

Best Hulu deal for most people: Hulu annual subscription

Instead of paying $9.99 per month for Hulu (with ads), which adds up to $119.88 in a year, you can opt for an annual subscription and save 16%. A yearly subscription, paid up front, costs just $99.99, which drops the monthly fee down to just $8.33 per month. It’s the best way to keep more money in your pocket in the long run.

Best bundle deal: Get Hulu and Disney+ for 37% off

Want the most bang for your buck? Opt for a bundle plan. You can sign up for the Disney Duo Basic bundle and get both Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) for $10.99 per month. That’s just $1 more than paying for Hulu alone, or a savings of 45%. If you’re a sports fan, you can also throw ESPN+ into the mix for only $16.99 per month total. That’s 47% in savings on all three services.

Best for students: Hulu Student

Students looking to stream Anora and other Neon hits can sign up for Hulu for only $1.99 per month. That’s 80% off the usual cost of a Hulu with ads plan. The only requirement is that you can verify your college email address using SheerID.

Best for T-Mobile users: Hulu (with ads) included for one year for Go5G Next customers

One of the best ways to get free streaming services, including Hulu, is to switch your phone plan to T-Mobile’s Go5G Next plan. Customers on this plan can enjoy Hulu with ads for free (as well as Netflix and Apple TV+). If you’re already on the Go5G Next plan, just head over to the T-Mobile promo page and choose “redeem now” to claim your offer. You’ll have to enter your T-Mobile number and account details in order to sign up for Hulu.

Note: After your initial 12-month promotional period, you’ll also have to take action in order to keep your subscription alive.
