This weekend is a big deal for indie films. 'Anora' – a modern Cinderella story that won big at Cannes – is hitting theaters. It's only on a few screens in New York and LA right now, but it's getting a lot of love from critics and audiences alike. The film's about a young woman from Brooklyn who marries a billionaire's son, and things get wild when his parents find out.

Neon, the company behind 'Anora', has a track record of winning at Cannes. Last year, their film 'Titane' took the top prize. This one, directed by Sean Baker, is already getting a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That's pretty impressive!

'Anora' isn't the only indie film making waves. 'Exhibiting Forgiveness' is also opening this week. It's about an artist who has to deal with his estranged father. The film stars André Holland and Andra Day, and it's already getting some buzz for awards season.

There's also 'Rumours', a satire about world leaders trying to fix a global crisis. And 'Union', a documentary about workers fighting to unionize at Amazon. Plus, a few other films are making their debut, like 'The Line' and 'High Tide'.

It's a busy weekend for indie films, and it's exciting to see so many different stories hitting the big screen.
