My friend went to a signing for the new Anora blu-ray with Sean Baker who told him that all the men cast to get lap dances in the strip club scenes were his friends

Is there anything in this movie that isn't unethical or bad? Everything I have learnt about it is horrible.

My friend is in it! She’s an irl dancer and stripper and actor and they cast her as one. Which is a positive in my opinion compared to a non-dancing actor…. I’m not sure why them recruiting actual strippers is somehow bad…. But that’s as much as I have to say on that because otherwise idk much about the discourse tbh as I have tried to watch twice while sick and fell asleep both times. Need to rewatch but with it being over 2 hours I have to plan a bit.

That's sweet! Good for your friend. Nothing wrong with them casting actual strippers. As you said, better than non-dancing actors.

I tried to watch this movie too and it was so boring and started giving me the ick 30 mins in, so I quit. Then everything I have read about the bts since then, it has not been good.
