00:00Hey guys and welcome to I Want My Anx TV Reviews.
00:02I'm Sarah and today we are going to be talking about the next mini-series from Shondaland
00:08and Netflix, Inventing Anna.
00:22Now I'm rather disappointed in myself that I had never heard about this story before.
00:27I even put a post on my Facebook asking any of my friends if they knew of this story
00:34and literally like two people replied.
00:36This is crazy.
00:40Inventing Anna tells the story of a girl named Anna Delvey.
00:43She is supposedly an heiress to a fortune in Russia.
00:46She wants to open up her own social club and in order to do so she needs a bajillion dollars.
00:53And what does she do as the ultimate con woman cons so many people out of their money including bankers,
01:04socialites, lawyers,
01:06and people she says are friends.
01:10Like oh hell no!
01:13Y'all this is a true story.
01:15Buckle up.
01:16Her name is Anna Delvey or Anna Sorokin.
01:18No one's short.
01:19She's either a rich German heiress or she's flat broke.
01:22Anna committed real white collar felonies while posing as a socialite in an attempt to steal millions of dollars.
01:28Watching the series and seeing how this woman took advantage of these people,
01:32I actually had my own nightmare about it.
01:34I thought that I was at a fancy hotel.
01:36I thought I was the one having to give my credit card for a $60,000 stay.
01:42The series affected me y'all.
01:45The series stars Julie Garner from Ozark as Anna.
01:49Anna Chumsley, yes of my girl.
01:51As Vivian the reporter who writes the story that this miniseries is based off of.
01:57This miniseries takes you day by day, step by step, through Anna's life.
02:02The whole time it has you guessing along with the reporter if she truly is the heiress she claims to be
02:09or is she just an incredible con woman.
02:12What I really enjoyed is that while Vivian is learning everything about Anna,
02:15the viewer is as well.
02:17So as someone who came into this miniseries completely blind and having no idea,
02:22I found that an amazing tool.
02:24Because every episode is chock full of information.
02:29Every episode is very dense.
02:32So I didn't find myself completely binging it,
02:34maybe more than like one or two episodes at a time,
02:36because it was a lot.
02:39And honestly, by the end of the series, I was kind of over it.
02:43Hi Anna.
02:46I just had some questions.
02:48I have a question.
02:50What's you wearing?
02:51You look poor.
02:52I thought the acting in this series was phenomenal.
02:55I can definitely see a handful of Emmys coming from it, especially for Julia Garner.
02:59If you watch videos of Anna Delvey, because there's plenty.
03:02I am famous.
03:03Anna Chumsley, she is such an incredible actress as well.
03:07The things that this character goes through in order to make the story,
03:10in order to get her reputation back, are hard and difficult.
03:14And Anna as her character goes through them with this level of ease and empathy.
03:20But also you are stressed out watching her do this the whole time.
03:25While this is a nine part miniseries, I really thought it could be four.
03:30And I know that sounds insane.
03:32Every episode is really, really heavy, has so much dense information.
03:36However, towards the end of it, I found it to be a little repetitive.
03:40I found myself not caring because the juicy bulk of it is in the front half of the series.
03:46And then the back half, you're just kind of like, oh, we're doing more fact checking.
03:50Oh, we're going to see if this is real.
03:52Oh, we're finally to the trial.
03:56So yes, while I found the ending of the series to be lackluster,
03:59I do think that everyone should check out this series.
04:01If anything, to watch the masterclass in acting,
04:05to learn about this wild and crazy story,
04:08because there's too many swindlers out there right now.
04:10You see that Tinder swindler?
04:12That Anna Delvey? She's not alone.
04:15Guys, we got to keep, we got to keep vigilant.
04:17Anna stole a jet.
04:21What's going on?
04:22Who are you?
04:24Anna Delvey is a masterpiece, bitches.
04:26And they can just all...
04:27I'm a cold, yes, I'm a cold piece looking for a Mr. Freese.
