MsMojo was the hotel friend written correct? Her character bothered me the most, still thinking Anna was a friend.
What about the older lady (can't remember her name) who Anna and her BF stayed with? According to the show, Anna charged $400,000 on her credit cards without her permission. I suspect that character was made up, because I haven't seen any mention of her anywhere else.
@@somerandommom5030 oh good question! That person is the reason she was able to get connected in the first place.
Most shocking fact is that Netflix subscriptors are ACTUALLY financing Anna.
@@nadiabattilocchi5476 Right! I had to look into that before watching and they "only" paid her $320K. She had to pay that out to her victims.
Julia Garner disappeared in the role of Anna. She was incredible! I really hope she wins an award.
oh yes! I agree with you ... she is fantastic!
lol yeeeaahhh sure
I disagree
@@vknzach me too
She was incredible. Totally agree.
I just finished the show and came here to compare facts, it must’ve been mentally exhausting to deal with this girl in real life 😂
It's probably exhausting deal with you in real life also 😂
@@carole-annecrosbie4163 idk why you’re attacking them unprovoked.
@@carole-annecrosbie4163 Anna? 😳
I honestly don't understand why people like "Anna ," and put up with her "$hit."
@@Leilexa 😂 😂 😂
Julia Garner is getting double nominated in 2023 award season; for this role and as Ruth in Ozark. She is definitely WINNING an Emmy for this role. She’s beyond brilliant.
Indeed, I remember Julia in Dirty John. She is Jennifer Lawrence talented. Brilliant actress
Just realized that's the girl from Ozark 🤣🤣
what's the nomination for Ozark?
She dwarfs Jenniffer Lawrence talent wise@@jakebe4915
There's a difference between 'writing the story as more interesting than it was in reality for the Netflix series' and 'getting facts wrong' - it's called creative license. The Netflix series doesn't claim to be 100% 'true' - it's not a documentary.
Exactly. Netflix even made a point of saying the series was based on a true story expect for the bits that were made up at the start of every episode.
And they say this in the beginning of every episode.
Documentaries are far worse. People are more likely to just believe a documentary is true without question.
What?? Documentaries are not 100% real. Are created to show you just a part, and that part is what ever they want and they really interest to show you, and whatever they want you to belive. You re manipulated by documentaries...
True crime shouldn’t be sensationalized like what they’ve done in this. Who cares though, because $$$$$$ is all that matters.
I respect Sorokin’s honest answer at the end - “tell me their name and I’ll tell you if I feel bad”
Relatable - on a much smaller scale lbs
If only she was that honest with everything else she did lol
@@EricaH329 - very valid. Lol
This accent sounds like a lot more challenging than just purely German or Russian...
An American playing a Russian who is trying to speak American English in a fake German accent... lol
I thought she nailed it tbh.
💯
I agree. The "real" anna has a much more nasal sound in her voice. It almost sounds like a Minnesota nasal sound. Very intresting.
She nailed an accent of a foreigner but not Anna's accent. She made it sound more British than German/Russian.
Anna’s accent is very unique and light, you can only hear it when are pronounce certain letters like t or i .. listen to get when she says “two million”
The accent was a fail in my opinion.
When people believe, doesn’t matter the accent! I have a mix up US accent, although I’m born and raised in East Bay California, my mom lived in the gulf coast of Fl my grandma was from Boston, I spent time in mid west my accent isn’t just one it’s a mixture. It happens. Also same in European countries, different English dialects Irish dialects Russian and german the same ! Just saying
Julia Garner will be/should be an absolute superstar. Her talent is immense. One of the best actors out there.
Yes definitely should be up for an Emmy. IMO!
She’s on her way! 💖
@@WwJd2tmthy1 she won an award for her Ruth in Ozark.
They are all wonderful and strong actors in Ozark.
Thing about Ozark is, whenever Ruth appears, you think nobody else matters.
She is this hard working girl with curly hair and she is so bad ass fighting for herself and her family.
You just want to jump in the TV and help her.
I thought Julia Garner’s accent is 100% accurate. Everyone who was asked about Anna Sorokin said her accent was weird so Julia Garner’s accent was weird. Lol
That was probably made up too 😂
Garner's accent is a good match, but far from 100%
Combination accents are always the toughest. I had a friend who’s mom learned English as a third language after the native Vietnamese and then French. She could be hard to understand sometimes but very kind.
It was way too OTT
@@siriusleigh24 I agree. When I first heard it I was really taken aback. I knew Anna was born in Russia and moved to Germany, but it still sounded odd. After hearing the real Anna actually speak, I get it more, but it's still very exaggerated.
When I saw the first episode I thought the acting was terrible because of that weird accent and didn’t watch more. But once I watched the interview with the real Anna Sorokin, I realized just how good the acting actually was and I binged the rest of the episodes! She nailed it 👌
Honestly I'm impressed how accurate this show actually was. This girl was seriously impressive in a terrible way
Incorrect. She IS seriously impressive in an AWESOME way!
I see Anna as sociopathic. She wasn't violent, but certainly cruel. She had a mission in her mind and all the other people around her were pawns to be used and discarded. That's pretty much the DSM5 definition in clarity. Even today, in this interview, she needs names of people she wronged. That's because she still doesn't understand the depth of her actions. Only she matters. WOW. Talk about consistent character or the lack of it.
that’s iconic of her who cares if she used rich assholes
@@ratpoop273she probably treated lower class people even worse for not being rich and famous. People like her see others as inferior. Seek help because clearly you aren’t in the right mind if you’re defending an individual like her.
That attitude is the reason we aren't b/millionaires. That's the difference. You can't become disgustingly rich without burning every bridge and pushing people aside who are of no use to your end goal. The question is if you actually want to be that rich. Personally I can afford food and fuel and a roof above my head, so my life is complete. That's a giant flex in my book. But people like Anna will never feel that satisfaction. They are never "done".
@@ratpoop273she scammed her working class friend live $6000 thats not iconic, she didnt just scam rich people
Julia Garner did what very few actors can achieve; dissolving into a role so much you forget it’s a character and you actually start to hate them lol. She did a fantastic job.
Paul rudd does this in the shrink next door. My partner literally almost hates paul rudd now hahaha
@@elc_mua oo I still need to see that
I adore Julia Garner, she's such a versatile actress, and can play almost any role, as well as any accent. I loved her in "Ozark," "Maniac", "The Assistant", and even her small role in "Perks of Being a Wallflower."
The assistant was such an awful movie though lol
She was also in the first season of Dirty John
her accent was over the top and annoying
@@kelseyharris4977 + The Americans
@@kelseyharris4977 that's where I was first introduced to her. She's amazing. Such a great young actress, but yet so talented!
I have a six figure job and they want everything but my first born to even get a $300 mortgage?. How does she get approved for multi million dollar loans with NO assets.
The accent is accurate, but the layers are so spot on! So Russian, German, and American. Jennifer did such a good job!
I'm sure Jennifer Garner could have pulled this off lol, but this was Julia.
*Julia* Garner, lol! Jennifer Garner is a different actress.
Anna has a Russian accent, as a Russian woman who looks as Russian as any Russian woman ever has. Americans are just uneducated to not have realized right away.
Jennifer? Lol
I can't understand why in the Netflix series had so many people going to bat for her and really losing their minds all about her wrongdoing? I know it's just a series...and I know I sound old AF but I think the series is sending out some weird vibes to impressionable people.
True but so does like 80% of media
@@Sellinwhite11 Not as strong as this
Totally agree, it was weird how the reporter was so Team Anna at the end and the message being Anna was not guilty
@@Chrissy524 Seriously...it was irritating. Then Neff acting crazy in time square when the story broke was so weird...you know there's people out there who will take this and run with it lol I did understand the lawyer to a certain extent because lawyers are all about their percentages but even he got on my nerves.
I thought that too! I spent the whole series waiting for some big reveal that proved the reporter was right and Anna wasn’t all that bad. But nothing came!
LOL. Julia Garner's accent... voice, tone, everything sounds so much like the real Anna. She got that spot on. And the resemblance is uncanny. You could actually see Anna in the portrayal. They really got a good actress to play the part.
what I dont understand is how did no one ever ask her for ID??? Her passport had her real name on it, but yet banks and stuff was giving her money, without checking her ID?! and just believing some ''guy'' on the phone and some emails, aka her phone app with voice changer, and untraceable emails. How did no one ask her for ID!?
Something tells me if 16 year olds can get fake ids she can too, just a thought
Maybe that's just how it is for the wealthy and privileged...not like I'll ever know.
That's the "made-up" part.
I was shocked at how everyone went to Morocco, but no one had money, and no one checked with anyone else as to their financial situation either, maybe it's just not discussed in Upper class culture, but wouldn't you expect to have to pay your own way at some point? Same deal with Paris...
right I thought the same thing
Right. I always bring enough money of estimated expense to bring on trips even if it was a free trip offered by a friend just in case. What happened to them in Morocco is actually one of my biggest nightmares. No emergency money to spent on a foreign country? Hell no!
It’s messed up that the vanity fair lady did not get back her money, then they made her look bad for setting up Anna to get arrested
@@donnettepalmer6798 What are talking about? That Rachel girl didn't have to pay a dime of that debt bc American Express wrote it off. Then she went to make over half a million bucks afterwards just for crying the victim.
@@donnettepalmer6798 she did get her money back. Amex gave it back to her in the show
In my opinion,The most annoying character of "Inventing Anna" would be Vivian Kent...she is so entitled to haunt Vadim & a really bad partner to her husband & as a journalist,she is supposed to be neutral but then she starts sympathizing with Anna like WTF🙄
Omg thank you!I swear I couldn’t stand her obnoxious &selfish personality also the actress facial expressions were so overly exaggerated,all I could see was fcking wrinkles moving
@@nofilterbtxh5000 what do her wrinkles have to do with anything and also she was being mentally manipulated by Anna and that’s what they were trying to show…
Horrible acting on her part
@@Sofianova17 Both can be true. She was manipulated and she still is a shit person, wife and journalist. My problem with the show is they failed to convey why some of these people took her side.
I found Rachel annoying, she was leeching on Anna for 2 years then suddenly cried victim when she had to pick up the bill once 😂😂.
The actress playing Anna Delvey was amazing!!!
Her name is Julia Garner.
Much better than the original.
Her name is Sandra Oh.
Julia deserves an Oscar for Ozark alone but this was pretty awesome
She’s extremely talented! I agree!!
@@amazonglamazon6633 💕💕💕
Don’t Netflix shows/series fall into the Emmy category? Maybe Golden Globe and SAG? Feature movies are Oscar/Academy Awards.
They don't give Oscars for TV shows.
Ummmm they don't give out Oscars to a series on tv/cable,Netflix.
I am loving this!!!! She went from killing Dirty John to being Dirty Anna (John). It took me a moment to place her!!!!!! This is really good!!
Have you been watching Ozark? She's so good in that
If she wanted to pass herself off as a "German heiress," why did she not choose a German name? "Delvey" hardly sounds German.
She just choose a nail according to her
I do have sympathy for Rachel. Sure, she turned to publicizing and profiting what happened to her, but let's remember she went through HELL for months and lost her job as a result of this. She likely doesn't trust people as much and still has trauma from this. Money is a small price to pay for what she went through but more importantly, I just really empathize with her.
Agreed. I feel no sympathy for the banks or rich elites, but Rachel was just a regular person working a 9 to 5. She has every right to profit of her own experiences in whatever way she sees fit, none of that changes the fact that she was betrayed and robbed by her own friend.
She’s even more despicable than Anna. The ultimate gold digger.
@@boriqua5109 more despicable than Anna? how so?
Anna payed for things because she COULD and because WANTED to. She was not coerced or forced to do it, she genuinely liked the lifestyle and sharing that with her friends. She had to know that a magazine photo editor couldn't afford 5 star dinners, designer dresses, and foreign trips for elite hotels but she didn't care. Don't you think it's a bit cruel to constantly invite a friend to activities you know for a fact are completely out of their price range? Anna made up for this by voluntary choosing to comp her friends bills.
Where she crossed the line is during the hotel incident. Rachel and Anna were not the only people there. There were 4 people total and forcing the 4 person bill all on Rachel is not justified in any way.
I do and I don’t I personally would never go on a trip I can’t afford and never let a friend pay for my meals and stays
I’d do the same as Rachel.
Anna Delvey & Simon Leviev should be a Power Swindler Couple!
😂are they both Jewish?
No way it doesn’t work that way
At one point she was living with Billy McFarland (the Fyre Festival guy) and I find that so hilarious.
That could never work out. They wouldn’t be able to profit from each other. Both broken and pathetic
Nice
I remember Julia Garner from 'Martha, Marcy-May, Marlene' ten years ago...and thought she was terrible...I now take that back! And...whether or not the accent is accurate, it was brilliantly weird!!!
@@III-rp6zc i mean her accent isn’t meant to be russian it’s meant to be a mix of different accents, so i don’t think being russian makes you the judge of its quality lol
Anyone judging Julia’s accent performance doesn’t understand that Anna is in real life Russian playing a German so obviously the accent will shift. If anything that should add to Julia’s performance. She did amazing
Did the reporter really went to Germany to meet Anna's father?
Also what about the yacht in Ibiza?
This video really needs a part 2 !
So I read that she Infact go to Germany but she didn’t break into anyone’s house and there was a lot more laughing involved
The Yacht most likely wasn't real
I don’t understand everyone applauding Julia Garner. She played really well but completely different person than true Anna Sorokin. She didn’t manage to portray the key personality trait of Anna - her charm, that helped her manipulate everyone.
What I mean is that during the whole season I whole-heartedly hated Anna. She not once convinced me to be a good manipulator because she was so unlikable. 9 episodes one hour each. And then I watched true Anna Sorokin on her interview for Australian news. And although she seemed like she had no remorse and was completely unapologetic for what she did…5 minutes of watching and I understood it straight away. Feigned innocence. Smile. “Everyone lies, this is not special” attitude. She had the charm that Julia just failed to portray. She’s a good actress but it was completely different character.
Totally agree. Real qnna giggled constantly throughout her speech- gives very different effect even just looking at speech
It was just a bad script. The production quality of this show was very cheap. If a better director and writer had made this show (or movie), Julia would have won an Emmy or an Oscar.
What is charm, really? IMO, she made those she took into her circle feel important because she took them into her circle. Did she flatter them, massage their egos? She never paid them the money she owed them, but she paid them attention. Plus, she has nothing but contempt for those who she conned. Including Netflix, and possibly HBO. Even the eventual publisher of her undoubtedly ghost-written pretend tell-all Art of the Delvey. One of her talents is the ability to recognize potential targets/victims; if someone meets her criteria, they’ve already lost.
You're wrong. Anna doesn't even know who she is, other than a pathological liar and narcissist. Julia nailed the essence of Anna's greed and deceitfulness that led to her desperate need to matter. It was spot on.
She is not charming. She is ugly. I would question her money just by looking at her face. Rich guys marry beautiful women so their kids should be pretty. If her father is rich, she should be pretty.
For people who keep commenting “why was everyone running around Anna” “why was Vivian so biased” etc. Please look into narcissistic abuse it has a really strong hold on people to the point you’ll be vouching for that person even when all the signs are there to show you their evil. They portrayed that spot on. I’ve myself experienced this so I get it but if you haven’t I understand it looks very strange or as if they were trying to portray her as this innocent victim. The series I believe was trying to show us that people like Anna know how to manipulate your emotions to a point where you start feeling everyone is against them and they are the real victim. This is why you see everyone turning against each other instead of Anna. This is what narcissists and sociopaths do. They make everyone else their and YOUR enemy so you’re so focused on each other that you are distracted from the fact she’s the problem and she can continue her abuse whilst having you feeling sorry for her. It’s the same abuse tactic cult leaders use. Scary stuff.
Anna is a text book narc lol
I don’t think the show portrayed Anna in a way that she feels like a victim at all. I think the show portrayed her as this very ambitious person who did what she could to achieve her goals, used people as props and was absolutely unapologetically about it. I actually find that very appealing, which I also think was the writers actual intention.
She still could be a very good business woman. But unfortunately ppl will definitely not trust her with their money/credit cards. So I guess it would be tough for her. She'd have to do everything herself.
Unfortunately, crime does pay in her case. She has multiple deals and projects in the works.
I genuinely think that if she got the loan, opened ADL, she would've been so fucking successful. She would've paid the loans in maybe a little more than a year, and she would've ended up being an incredibly successful woman. She was smart, a little careless sometimes but she would've made it.
@@nicvntine I agree
I mean no her idea was shit a vip art club for the elite 🙄 art is meant for everyone to enjoy and look at not vio’s who pay 200,000$ a month to be in her “ clubs.”
@@kkandsims4612 the elite has so many clubs we the ppl do not know about and arent allowed to enter... she could have been really successful in this venture because there is soooooo many billionaires that aren't in the limelight that would pay for this membership. If I was disgustingly rich I would not do it. Lol but I'm also not rich so who knows maybe I would lol. I takes egotistical ppl though to want an exclusive membership like that.
I've watched a couple of episodes of Inventing Anna, at this point based only on the show, that while Anna is clearly just an actress providing the rich a diversion and simulated friendship, something I suspect the elite rich are desperate for, as long as they are not made a fool of in front of their other rich socioeconomic group. It speaks to a class of rich that are very unhappy and without purpose. Anna was just doing what the black girl said was the nature of NY, everyone was on the grift.
The only quibble I have is that I don't think the real Anna leans so heavily into the valley girl accent, but that's a minor thing. For the most part, I think it's pretty accurate. It kind of reminds me of when Julianne Moore played Sarah Palin, whose accent is a mix of different influences.
Lol that's funny since the real Anna approved the accent 🤣
Rachel got on my last nerve. Seriously she had all these ideas of things to do in Morocco and expected Anna to foot the bill , but when Anna didn’t have it she whined and complained that she had to pay. She was on the trip too! She blew my mind more than Anna tbh.
She was a shallow piece of tart who loved freeloading! I was still sympathizing with her until she revealed she never paid any bill like wtf! What kind of a friend mooches off of their friends like that? She was. disgusting!
This is exactly why Anna was found not guilty against the charge with Rachel. Rachel willingly handed her card over when she could have said no, and then expected Anna to pay it all back. So basically Rachel wanted to partake in an extragacant vacation and not pay a dime of her own expenses. Not cool
I still think Rachel was in the right here. Some rich people, like Anna, enjoy spending money on their friends. Rachel didn't expect to pay 60k - probably didn't even know the bill could be that high - when Anna was supposed to pay. It was their arrangement. If it was about a 20-dollar meal, I'd say Rachel was mooching, but 60k??? Who has that kind of money lying around? The only thing Rachel did wrong IMO was using her work credit card. She shouldn't even have brought it with her. Company cards are for business needs.
Honestly I don't understand how anyone can take Anna's side in any of this. Would you want a friend like her? A friend who cheats and steals and then yells "I don't have time for this" when you ask for your money back. How do you watch this and think Rachel is somehow the bad guy? And if you dislike smooches, Anna was only too happy to live on Chase's money, stay at Nora's or Val's place, and when she lost her money, she wanted to appeal to Kacy's sympathy and live with her. She never had her own place, and the money she spent often wasn't her own.
Rachel is nothing but an opportunistic social climbing phony who plays the eternal victim.
@@WillowJordan1979 don’t have the money then don’t go. Like neff said she doesn’t go to places with people and expect free handouts. Rachel is just a spoiled child with no real grasp of the real world; she doesn’t understand what it means to take accountability for her actions. Anna taught her what she lacked. Those lessons can’t be taught to people who already know
Out if all the mini docs Netflix did I feel like they did a good job a lot of the cast interviewed with the real people and talked about there time with Anna to learn how to play there part and it was somewhat researched. Don't why they gives this one a 6.7/10.
I am German and actually she sounds like a the average young German speaking English. We try really hard to pronounce things perfectly. This typical German accent is actually more a thing of the boomer generation. I, for example, have a really hard time to do this "classical German accent" an english speaker expects.
I am American, but have a lot of family in Germany. I thought she sounded so much like how my cousins sound when speaking English!
@@esprit1206 what?!!!!! Australian?!!! Nope!!!!
When I first heard her I thought no German person speaks like this but I guess I'm wrong. Her accent made more sense to me when I realised she grew up in Russia and only came to Germany in her teens
@@MegaHexli: She has actually some elements in her accent that are not German. You are absolutely right.
Wonder if she has a photographic memory? Always intrigued by that……
Love Julia Garner's accent, she portrait Anna to perfection, her acting is flawless, she give all the emotions, she is funny, arrogant....perfection. Also love the actress who play Rachel, I think that's her name, the friend Ana scammed for $60,000, very good actress. Let's talk about Vivian, the journalist that is obsessed with Ana and don;t give a Sh@@ about her husband and unborn daughter. She had a role in VEEP and is the same role she is doing here, obnoxious, little faces, overacting, it's kind of comical, if was not that bad. She is making the series hard to watch.
Yes, Anna Chlumsky's performance was really bad. The whole show is quite badly written. The only good thing about this show was Julia's performance.
Couldn't even look at the screen during her scenes, straight up skipped the birthing scene because I figured the overacting that was to come of that would be intolerable. Loved the Julia Garner's acting and she was the only reason I could finish the show.
Wholeheartedly agree with you! I even looked up the original writer Jessica Pressler to see if Viv (I think her real name is Chlumsky?) has that many ticks. It made the series off putting.
@@lampcuplazerturtlful 100% the same
agreed... she was hard to watch. The faces annoyed me the most, I skipped her scenes as well (unless they involved Anna)
Rich people scam regular people every second of day and nothing is done about it. They barely pay taxes have all sorts of tax loopholes get politicians to write laws that favor them at our expense, pay as little as possible, and some don't even tip. So I like this lady she knew the game is rigged and was trying to find a way through. I can feel a little bad for the friend that got scammed out of 70k, but not for 5he others.
That's the point I guess. I don't think the portrayal was spot on because otherwise, people wouldn't have such a hard time understanding why they were batting for Anna. Anna was insufferable the entire show. The writing also didn't provide much insight at what she fed Vivian and her lawyer to make them be on her side.
julia garner i think was the best choice for the anna's role , also i must say her dresses in the show and in real life was really amazing
This show is brilliant and so are the cast. I first watched Julia in Ozark which was one of the reasons I wanted to watch this. Such an amazing actress! ❤
People have to think when she came to New York she had a heavy accent she was still learning and then compare it to her recent interviews after being here years they even say interviews she switched it often
After hearing her interview after watching Inventing anna, I feel like she could've had funda that were held up. But that's ridiculous. Shes very very very captivating
Funda?
"Can you name me the names of the people, and I'll tell you if I feel bad about them?" I'm done.
Right? I was like damnnnn
Hands down Julia did great in this, talk about learning how to be the queen of shade..
I don't think the accent was even close to accurate. If you watch Anna's interviews, she annunciates her "R"s but Juila doesn't do that and pronounces those words in a British accent (at 3:54 the way she says "better" and "perfect flats"). Anna doesn't have any sort of British accent. At 2:00, you can hear the way Anna says "PERson" but Julia would pronounce it as "PAHsin".
Needless to say, I know accents are hard and probably even harder to act with an accent so props to Julia for her effort.
People like this don’t contribute anything valuable to our society , they only take and drag it down with them. 😭
It shocks me the most sociopaths like her gets away with everything , and even the punishment. She got out the prison so quick .
obviously what she did is totally wrong, but in more recent interviews she admitted she does regret it and she's genuinely trying to better herself
@@thatgaylibertarian narcissist who spends years of their life dedicated to manipulating, conning, and defrauding to curate a public image to further her own selfish gains suddenly has a change of heart?
i’m not saying people are immutable, but seeing as she stands to profit massively from continued media attention and leaning hard into whatever girl-boss cult following has sprung up around her, I kinda doubt she’s changed as much as she wants you to believe.
@@MrRaziza I agree. She might learn to pull her head in a bit more in future and be more wary of situations in which she knows she might get caught out. She's obviously quite smart, but that has nothing to do with personal insight and even less to do with genuine regret. Compulsive liars never really change: they just get better at knowing what they can push and how far... and as it now appears she may be back in Germany, where I don't think she has any time to serve, she doesn't even have to worry about the significant limitations placed on the lives of bigger fraudsters who have longer prison terms.
All being caught has ultimately achieved, in fact, is keeping her out of the US for maybe 10 years at best. At worst, the publicity has given her an even better platform for living large, in a world where celebrity/infamy (interchangeable) is an end in itself and can always be turned into $$ 😞
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 From what I’ve read, she’s has so many projects based on this story that she’ll be able to propel herself forward without much issue. As much as I hate to give her credit, if there’s anyone that can turn this into continued relevancy, it’s her.
Tinder Swindler being another one. I legit can’t believe instead of going to prison, he got signed with a media management company 😒
Curious about the many references to fyre festival . Whether this is true or just an Easter egg regarding scamming people
No, that’s true. She lived with the guy just like in the show.
The show was disappointing in general. I don’t know why there’s such a focus on the boring dry reporter. I wish it was story of how she went from nothing to scamming for her luxuries to being caught.
I hear you. That first episode did not hold up to the rest of the episodes. Took me three times to watch the second episode.
Yes - I found it crushingly boring.
Agreed! And why was the pregnancy line even relevant?
@@pNo415 Same! I really had to push myself to get to ep 2 (and 3 lol). I thought the Morocco fiasco was the most well done of the scandals. I knew what went down, yet it still gave me anxiety lol.

I didnt rob the bank, i just walked in and asked them for all their money. lol this chick...
I gotta say the actor for Anna was amazing. Most shows I can tell the actors. In the series, acting was amazing/good.
I really liked the show. The hospital OD part was not researched. A psychiatrist would be in civilian clothes and usually do an interview in their office. At a hospital they would use their security to keep the patient from running off the unit. This seemed to be depicted as a combination hospital and mental health unit. The security at mental health facilities are called orderlies, mental health workers or mental health technicians depending on the facility. In the show he said some physical therapist would restrain her. A physical therapist helps injured, or ill people improve movement and manage pain through rehabilitation and does not provide security and does not restrain people.
Inventing Anna is for sure an interesting series, but the writing is sometimes lackluster.
The actress nailed the roll and accent.
When I first heard the accent I was thinking: "Hey, Martin Short in Father of the Bride." but it turned out to be the real deal.
🤣🤣🤣 great comparison!!!
Julia garner really did her homework
Although at times I feel amused at what she managed to get away with, she absolutely stole money from a lot of people and left a mess in her wake and that debacle in Morocco could have ended up much much worse if Rachel hadn't put forth her own credit cards. I would have done the same thing in the same situation, other countries treat prisoners horribly, and they could have all ended up in prison for quite some time before people learned of their plight and bought their way out of it. I am glad Rachel came out as well as she did and I think the jury that found Anna not guilty in scamming her need a swift kick in the pants.
People gave her their money, she didnt steal shit
Agreed!! Rachel did get ripped off. Was happy to see Rachel turn lemons into vintage Lemoncelo!
@@vasseem12 hope you and Anna will be very happy together, just remember to keep your wallet with you even in the shower.
This series had the most selfish, self-obsessed, narcissistic, foul-mouthed and insecure characters I've ever seen in my life.
Reality of NY, maybe?
First interview I watched about Anna and I have no idea why, but this makes me laugh and kind of like her:
Q: "People have said you tipped concierge with hundred dollar bills to impress people."
Anna: "Well, if people are impressed by a hundred dollar bill then I don't know what to tell them."
It's nothing to her, she never earned a dollar herself. Doesn't seem like a likable thing imo..
@illlDCllli I liked it because it showed she's not afraid to speak her mind. As someone who stresses over every word I write or say, filtering the hell out of it so I dont piss anyone off, i'm in awe of those who don't give a shit what anyone thinks. Its an exhausting way to live life. And itb was just in that moment. I found nothing else likable about her.
@@jen1748 sure I can see the appeal
She knew damn well those people would be impressed by that, she may not have been but she knows how to social engineer people. money is everything to that crowd and to people in the service industry that don't make a lot of it or get stiffed on tips by cheap people that can afford to tip better but do not. She knew who to pit against who and how to go about it, she knew it would work and it did. Look at the one working the desk at that hotel. That poor girl , to this day, thinks Anna is her friend. Anna used her for info, nothing more. Idk what happened to Anna in her past to make her the way she is but it is clear she has nothing but hatred for most people. That one scene, where she was a little girl having dinner with her father in Russia and her dad said to her , "get used to this" or something about getting used to the good life now, I can't remember as it's been a long time since I saw the movie. A switch flipped in her mind when she was young , something happened.
“can you name me the names of the people and i’ll tell you if i feel bad about it” MOOD
Yea, real cute in theory -but in actuality I'm sure losing all your crap to her and hear her tell you I'll let you know if I feel bad about it only portrays one mood - I victimized people and I don't give a f &ck which also screams teenage angst- seems you too are trapped in this mentality and also shows how far removed you are from actual real life situations... ignorant much?
@@nonenone9892 well if the reporter cant give any name, he has done pretty bad job you'd say?
I felt like the actress that played Debbie Gallagher based off looks could have played her but Julia Garner did an amazing job.
That’s an interesting one! I see it. Emma Kenney is 22 .. not sure when this was made but she was probably 21. Garner is 28. Maybe age would have been a factor.
I keep saying her and Debbie are almost identical
@@dani09eveline Maybe Emma’s experience is mostly more comedic acting but Shameless is drama/comedy. Maybe age issue and less experience. 🤷♀️
I had to google who that was and you are spot on!
I don’t think that’s really Emma’s kind of genre for her to do well. She does better in sitcoms and comedy drama shows
I'm currently reading Rachel DeLoache Williams book right now and it briefly mentions Hunter as well as an app about dream data so it seems that he is the one Chase is based on
i was looking for this i’ve seen his video and there’s a picture of them together
It was cool how they chose "Chase" instead of "Hunter" in the show
I also found his instagram on her page, and he is Asian. Not at all attractive btw
Neff is a disgusting person and the way she was celebrated and Rachel demonized despite them doing the same shady things is sickening. So when Neff distance herself from Anna to save her job that's perfectly okay and she's a "strong independent bad b" but when Rachel distances herself to save HER job and stop the credit card fraud against her and protect her own SAFETY in Morroco, she's literally called a litany of derogatory pejoratives by Neff/directors choice. Also, Neff straight up used Anna for money to fund her film and for clout. She fraternized with Anna when hotel staff are forbidden from doing so, for the sole intent of getting close to her and her money for her "film" and to for e fame. Neff was so jealous of Rachel because Neff was stuck in a dead end job and Rachel had a glamorous job at Vanity Fair she earned. The reason Neff and Anna got along so well was because they were both hustlers and birds of the feather flock together, as they say.
Omg yes. I felt like I was only one who disliked Neff. It was annoying how she kept on defending Anna
@circusounds No one said Rachel was a Saint. Neff was still a user and used racist derogatory pejoratives against Rachel for the same behavior. Neff still zeroed in on Anna to get money and clout.
@@thirstaefortae5057 p
@@SlitWristMisfit_ she called her Becky that's no racist derogatory term lmao
@@ankitasharma8356 It's a derogatory remark for specifically white women. A degrading remark involving someones race is racist. Racism is wrong 100% of the time no matter who it's directed at.
The accident absolutely threw me off. I thought it sounded so bizarre. Then I watched interviews with the real life Anna and it made a bit more sense. I still think Julia's is a little more exaggerated, but it does make more sense.
About Chase! She post on an IG story that she will reveal the real name to magazine or person who pay best..she even started with 50k if I'm not wrong 🤭
I do think she planned on paying back the loans if they came through (IF the show is accurate about her seriousness about her proposed business), however she drastically underestimated how carefully they would vet a multi-million dollar loan (they're not going to blindly loan money based on "balance sheets / financial documents" from another country that anyone could write up on their computer), and how incredibly hard it is to successfully start up a business, ESPECIALLY one based on being the "IT" place to go for the top 1% in Manhattan.
Look up "Tedx Talk: A dream database | Hunter Lee Soik" --> Chase is DEFINITELY based on a REAL person, wtf how can you say it was 'wrong'?
I'm sorry but I thought Julia's accent was cartoonish. Anna Sorokin has an accent that sounds blandly european, Julia sounded like a cross between a yenta from queens and Sophie from Two Broke Girls.
People really are making a big deal out of it. Maybe it’s because she’s so beloved on Ozark, anything she does is going to be praised.
Blandly European? I live in the EU and speak 4 languages, I don't know anyone who speaks with that accent. It either formed and practiced or it has to do that Anna's native tongue is Russian, went to school in Germany and now speaks English.
I’m half German half Russian and I don’t get why everybody really thought she was German. To me she looks Russian, doesn’t have a slight of a German accent, doesn’t “behave” like most Germans and Anna is a pretty stereotypic name in Russia as well. Of course most of the Russians are also different than her but to me she seems more Russian than german
The fact that Julia used a different accent from her original accent and her Ozarks accent is really impressive!
Glad I found your video as I’ve been looking for a portable extractor that can be used for my personal vehicle and my home! I also wish it had the trigger handle for for the Vacmaster but definitely going to be better than my Little Green Bissel Machine lol 😆
I don’t find her ultra beautiful or intelligent.. just the people around her were really ignorant...
Not a role model ... just a criminal with entitled attitude
As far as opening the art business it was all a con to try to get loans to fund her lifestyle not a business
I still don't know how she actually afford to pay all these legit expenses 🤣😁
Peter paid Paul.
From that I read, she used false bank statements to receive a loan from the bank. From that she withdrew money using fake cheques
But you have to have collateral to get a loan ?
@@cassandralivanis6073 Depend how much the loan is for and she's could've gotten cash from credit card advances.
@@cassandralivanis6073 her collateral wad a fake trust
They literally said in every episode there’s truth and then totally made up parts…
Julia Garner deserves an oscar
Emmy?
If Chase was not a real person, the story makes no sense. In the series, she gets ahead by exploiting her boyfriend. So there's a crucial part of the story missing.
I was thinking the same
Not exactly true. Her boyfriends also relied on her genius and socialite skills to garner respect from the upper echelons of society. They were more of a partnership. Plus he only met Nora because of her
I really like the long low ponytail with the suit, cute “outfit”
Anna has no moral ground or boundaries that makes her dangerous but also unstoppable you gotta command her sheer willpower.
At the end of the day it goes to show that with the right attitude you can make anything happen. I am not however condoning the way she Misled and took advantage of hard working people but at the same time the benefited from her until it longer suited them so …. Everyone wanted something
Facts
From OZARK to ANNA....Damn what else cant Julia do!! She is amazing!
its hilarious that Rachel was in the show somewhat.. vilianized
I mean, she did enjoy the free ride of their friendship until it backfired. lol
@@Skysdalimit247 true
She was opportunistic. I dont really think she truly cared for Anna. She just never expected what happened.
Karma got her twice. Literally no one is on her side again after watching the show cause we all know she was a leech, and she simply repaid her debt. Didn’t like it so she called the cops? She’s nothing but a rat.
She made more money out of this fiasco than Anna
I'm intrigued by this particular show so far. Though I'm a bit flustered and weirded out by Garner's accent as Anna Sorokin/ Anna Delvey, I can just let it slide this once. Anna Chlumsky has truly gotten so far ever since My Girl in the early 1990s I believe. Wouldn't have expected her to be a part of this show, and now look where is. Apart from Julia Garner, there's a unique balance to their characters' personalities. Delvey seems to be the more aloof yet sophisticated type while Kent leans more on the generic side yet somehow manages to get me to laugh just a bit due to her overreaction to some things. But don't get me wrong, though. Vivian Kent, as a character, may present herself as quite annoying or even bland from time to time on the show, but she still shines even though it fades in and out. So far I'm starting to get invested in Val, Neff, and probably even Rachel herself. That's all I'm gonna say for now since I'm not yet done watching the whole thing.
In an interview the actress stated that the accent was a mix of Russian and German accents with some American style inflections thrown in toward the end of sentences. She nailed the accent perfectly.
The accent is probably one of the most accurate thing this show's got!
Faking it till you make it is only okay when it doesn’t come at the cost of others.
U think rich people never scammed before?
I am so surprise! most powerful people didn't check Ann Delvey's background. Epic Fail!
I think they somewhat dod. The young 20 yr Olds that she rubbed elbows with didn't care.
love julia. but i got stuck at no. 1: the real anna doesnt sound anything like that, she has a very good american english accent...
Interesting was the number of actors I recognized from Scandal - also a Shonda Rhimes show.
Never admit guilt even when they are locking you up in jail. Most convicts will said they are not guilty.
Anna is a sociopath, she has no remorse at all
I hate Vivians character. The entire time I felt she was cringey. The way she talks, the way she opens her eyes big and shakes her head repeatedly. I couldn't stand it lmao. I haven't seen that actress since she played Ada (ava?) in My Girl though so that was a nice surprise
Exactly! She was literally the most annoying character.
As a person from third world country, I'm surprised that many American big companies got scammed by an ordinary Russian girl.
Bro, she asked the reporter if you can tell me the names of the people she burned. Obviously she doesn't feel bad if she can't even remember their names
I still have not been told where Anna got the $30,000 that was wired to settle her Hotel bill (12 George or 11 Howard)
Exactly
it was told in the OG article that she used a small loan from one bank to pay it
A bank wired it
And it was 11 Howard
The bank she applied for a loan with gave her an overdraft line of 100k while the actual loan was still with underwriting.
i was shocked to see that she was a plain woman in real life. how did she get access to the rich and wealthy? it only happens to beautiful women.
Only in the movies does it happen to beautiful women.
Heads up: Thats a photo of Belle Gibson (another con artist) in min 2:00 not Anna
It was a part of the Australian interview
Well the real Anna is a class act in today's world
Julia Garner take that role and did magic with it .
Class act ? LMAO. She is a thief, con artist who is insane. Grow up.
@@fredofromchicago777 I think you missed the point When i used the "Class Act" i meant in away she was conning and deceive most of the people she came into contact.
do to the fact that Anna used these people
for months also her victims
ignore all the red flags that we're right
in front of their faces until it was too late .
Now that's how i describe my POV too you
Impotent 3 year old,
@@23RedTechno I don’t understand what you’re saying. Are you saying class act because she got away with scamming people for so long?
@@maggiekarabel123 Yeah ! she did what most cons do in life working the "system"
and the people who hang out with
didn't notice that she seem kinda
sketchy side.
Anna managed to get in all the opulent

I couldn't convinced a Hooker to give me 12 dollars for cab fair .
but Anna gift of gab got her into the popular crowd ,
very very crazy and great list I like it a lot very great job mis mojo
I wanted to puke whenever Vivien Kent was on the screen. Her character is just so unnecessarily annoying and loud and rude and her voice GRATES on my nerves 😭 Don't get me wrong, everyone was a GOOD actor...just the way this was directed was so fucking cheesy and soapy.
Side note: I loved Anders Holm as Vivien's husband in this but only because Workaholics is the best show of all time. 😌
Thank youu! I loved Anna but Vivian was so unnatural and the weird faces she would make really took me out
@@hammerr3 yeah, the huge insane bulging eyes were SO weird 🤣 like who acts like that???
It wasnt pukey but definitely distracting. She was making the same faces as she did in my girl. It kept taking me out of the moment. Here’s a middle aged woman that kinda looks like that adorable little girl but kinda not.
@@feathery_cloud OH MY GOD THATS WHERE IVE SEEN HER!!!!
@@Jinxsuxyo haha yes! I screamed when I recognized her because I haven’t seen her since. But it’s def weird and distracting and gives me flashbacks lol.
I must say the person I hate the most in this series is Vivian Kent, not Anna Sorokin. I just can’t stand her attitude, few times being disrespectful (is that “right” or “wrong”?) Plus, her acting was awful, so extra. Julia did it better 😁
I thought it is intentional. She supposed to be not quitely likeable. And the acting just support it.
I wholeheartedly agree. Even her husband didn’t deserve the way she treated him
I agree with the first part.
Julia did well, but they gave Anna too much emotion. That has only ever cried for herself, she doesn't care about anyone.
i hate her name too for some reason
Anna Chlumsky's performance was truly awful. But it's not just her performance that makes the character so annoying, it's also the bad script.
Even though I had seen various Interviews and heard the real Anna Sorokin speak before I just couldn't Stop hearing Ruth Langmore. Both my husband and I could not stop repeating everything she said in 100% Ruth, LOL
I'd like to add that either way we think she's a brilliant actor!
