Starring Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn

When a Brighton Beach stripper (Mikey Madison in a star-making turn) is swept up in a whirlwind romance with an obscenely wealthy customer, it seems like a Cinderella story come true—until her new beau’s Russian-oligarch parents get wind of the relationship. Thrilling, brash, and unpredictable, this 21st-century screwball comedy from the director of The Florida Project won the Palme d’Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
