Inventing Anna Review Shonda Rhimes Netflix Series On Anna Delvey

At its best, “Inventing Anna” pushes this question forward by re-contextualizing it. Anna Delvey (real surname: Sorokin) may or may not be rich. Anna Delvey (played by “Ozark” Emmy winner Julia Garner) may or may not be a German heiress with a $65 million trust fund.

This was one of a whopping 17 nominations for the series, that included nominations for leading man Sudeikis, as well as supporting actors Juno Temple, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Brendan Hunt....

Jesse Eisenberg S When You Finish Saving The World Is A Great Debut

That Eisenberg obviously cared a lot more about the girl than any of her pet causes didn’t stop her from inviting him on a humanitarian trip to Central America a few months into their relationship, just as it didn’t stop her from marrying him a decade or so later, but the humiliation of trying to love someone on unilateral terms — for what you can take from them, with little regard for what they might need from you in return — seems to have scarred him all the same....
