ANNA DELVEY ARTICLE MOVIE

A wild editorial move because “fake heiress” is an incredibly juicy scoop. She doesn’t seem to be filing any stories, and regularly has blow-up fights with her editors, who tell her that Anna Delvey isn’t worth covering. Vivian’s career feels like something from the pre-internet era: A staff reporter at a major print magazine (a highly competitive job!) who specializes in long-form investigations (ditto!) but is widely regarded as incompetent due to a scandal in her past. But before we properly meet Anna (Julia Garner), we have to follow Vivian’s implausibly contrived quest to tell her story. Her tale falls somewhere between Fyre Festival and Robin Hood, and Inventing Anna’s target audience is here to watch these salacious events unfold. Not Pressler herself, but a fictional reporter named Vivian (Anna Chlumsky), whose storyline is both generic and oddly unrealistic in its depiction of modern journalism.įrom 2013 to 2017, Anna Delvey (née Sorokin) posed as a German heiress in order to defraud New York’s elite, resulting in a series of criminal convictions. But where Hustlers understood that we’re here for the article’s fascinating subjects, Inventing Anna puts the writer at center stage.

ANNA DELVEY ARTICLE MOVIE

Like the 2019 stripper movie Hustlers, this Shonda Rhimes miniseries is based on a blockbuster New York magazine article by journalist Jessica Pressler. Adapted from the viral New York magazine article exposing con artist Anna Delvey’s white collar crimes, this miniseries feels frustratingly slow and overlong, focusing too much time on the journalist investigating Anna’s story.
