(The real Rachel, Rachel DeLoache Williams, wrote a book about her experience.)Īnna’s most complex relationship is with Neff (Alexis Floyd), a concierge at one of the hotels where Anna stayed. Also good are Laverne Cox as a life coach and trainer, and Katie Lowes as Rachel, portrayed as a vapid Anna wannabe who ends up tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Anthony Edwards is believably hoodwinked as a bored bank representative Anna wins over. But it gives Vivian a place to start, and some people to talk to.Īnd that’s the best part of the series. Anna offers information in condescending dribs and drabs that isn’t reliable. Vivian makes several visits to Rikers Island, where Anna is being held awaiting trial. If it is, it’s amazing they ever get any stories out. Maybe this is how the New York Magazine newsroom really works. She’s also fighting against the bad judgment of her editor, Paul (Tim Guinee), a former friend who played a role in the erroneous story. If this is how New York magazine really works, they'd never get stories out Vivian is pregnant, which shortens the time frame she has to complete the story. The other inhabitants (Terry Kinney, Jeff Perry and Anna Deavere Smith), become both mentors and a kind of Greek chorus for Vivian, offering her advice and viewers occasional exposition. It involves influencers, rich people, journalism ethics (at one point Anna uses the term “fake news” to shoot down a story she doesn’t like) and other juicy topics. (She served as executive producer on “Bridgerton.”)
#Netflix movie about anna delvey series
The series is notable because it’s the first super-producer Rhimes created for Netflix as part of her deal at the streaming giant and the first she’s created since “Scandal” in 2012. Of note: Garner's accent is truly an otherworldly mix of various eastern European elements. That she was convicted in 2019 of theft of services, attempted grand larceny and grand larceny doesn’t really help her case. The story doesn’t really work as the latter the facts suggest that Delvey conned too many people and too many financial institutions for that. Or she’s a misunderstood put-upon genius whom no one will take seriously because she’s a young woman. Delvey, played by Julia Garner, so great in “ Ozark” and a two-time Emmy winner, comes off as selfish, self-centered and delusional. But the series suffers from the classic problem of not having anyone to root for. She had her reasons why she did all the things she did.Set visit: Julia Garner on playing a likable sociopath in Shonda Rhimes' new Netflix series 'Inventing Anna' 'Inventing Anna' suffers from the classic problem: no one to root for “That’s going to come across on the screen, and the performance isn’t going to be as good. “You can’t dislike the person you’re playing for eight, nine months,” Garner continued. Going into any part, you can’t have too many negative thoughts because you don’t want to start with the character judging them.” “The only thing that I didn’t expect is that Anna is really funny,” she revealed. Speaking about the role the following month, Garner said that during her research she visited Delvey at Rikers Island prison. These new photos aren’t the first glimpse at Inventing Anna – in 2020, Garner was spotted filming on the set of the show. However, the following month she was back in jail for overstaying her US visa – Delvey was reportedly still being detained in September. In 2019, she was convicted of fraud – after serving a number of courtroom looks – before being released in February 2021. When she returned from a supposed “all-expenses-paid” trip to Morocco in May 2017, Delvey’s scam started to unravel, and she was arrested in August of that year. It will tell the story of how Delvey (real name Anna Sorokin) conned businesses and friends out of hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund her lavish lifestyle as a fake German heiress among Manhattan’s social elite. The forthcoming series, created by Shonda Rhimes, is based on The Cut’s 2018 article, “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People”. In the next, she’s posing for a mugshot and having visitation time in prison. In the first two photos, Garner (as Delvey) is living her glamorous fake heiress life, sipping champagne and wearing head-to-toe designer looks. “This story is completely true,” Netflix wrote in the accompanying caption, “except for all of the parts that aren’t.” The streaming platform has shared four shots of Julia Garner as Delvey – each one less glamorous than the last. It’s been three years since it was first announced that notorious scammer Anna Delvey’s story would be turned into a suitably dramatic Netflix series – and now, we finally have an official look at Inventing Anna.
