- Check out my review of the new Netflix limited series, Inventing Anna!
In Inventing Anna, a journalist with a lot to prove investigates the case of Anna Delvey, the Instagram-legendary German heiress who stole the hearts of New York’s social scene - and stole their money as well. But is Anna New York’s biggest con woman or is she simply the new portrait of the American dream? Anna and the reporter form a dark, funny love-hate bond as Anna awaits trial and our reporter fights the clock to answer the biggest question in NYC: who is Anna Delvey? The series is inspired by the New York Magazine article “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People” by Jessica Pressler.
Inventing Anna premieres globally on Netflix on February 11, 2022.
The part where my dad is “King of Zamunda” accurate! 😆This would never work for us!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Exactly!!!! I laughed so hard when he said that
I heard about Anna about 2 years ago and I kept thinking the same thing. They were crazy enough to believe her. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Well this bleeds into the problem with influencer culture. Like Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos, Berney Madoff, Billy McFarland of the Fyre Festival the knew how to network the right people. The said said the right things and they were confident about what they talked about.
The problem is is us do we support them because we believe in their vision or their personality? is the question not asked that maybe we should ask more of because this fake it till you make it is allowed because we don't ask that critical question.
The problem is financial crimes are not victimless crimes especially because many things such as retirement plans, health care and more rolled into investments these banks are involved and these are large variety of working class people who also got swindled. Not directly but they did.
I just had a flash back, “Where are his glasses. He can’t see without his glasses.” 😭😭😭😭
Nahhh chill. Too soon 🥺
I do not want a friend like Neff. The girl was delusional.
Yeah but she was the only good friend in the whole series.
@@supaspydamn She was an embarrassing pick-me.
Love the Siamese twin bit. Really had me thinking. Lol!!!! 💛💛💛💛
Lmao “cut that thing off and let him fend for himself”
it is all fun and games until u are the one being swindled. she had a very self-oriented agenda and she manipulated ppl emotions to make them feel both accepted and trashed by anna sometimes within a 5 min timeframe! and thats after they were too on board with her crazy dreams she sold to just magically wake up and leave. the only wholesome part of this series wuz the scriberia teamwork...sad, really.
I know right? Can you imagine someone living with you, using your credit cards and lying and manipulating your friends for months??
Just chill? I was never rooting for Anna! It's so toxic to use people and call them your friends. No shade. If you think that her friend from Vanity Fair was too whiny you've obviously never been to Morocco... In some countries there are no rules and they're lucky to have made it out of there alive.
I agree!!! I didn't care for Anna at all!!! Yea she may have been cunning but she was also manipulative and a user! And I don't see how people thought Rachel was wrong for what she did. They were in a foreign country and in a dangerous situation not being able to pay for their stay. And for Anna to not pay her back! I would have sold her out too she was playing with her livelihood!
This!!!! I was like girl would have had to give up her card anyway, cause they would have found out Anna couldn’t pay and no one want to end up in jail in another country where you don’t know the language. Anything could go down. Honestly she probably shouldn’t have gone on the trip. But hindsight is 2020
An absent Anna for me. I never about the case before. I don't feel bad for the people she scammed and I don't feel sorry for her. The show was entertaining but a bit long
It was fun watch for a few episodes but dragged. It should have been fewer episodes.
I didn't know about this story, but Ima check it out, just based off your review
This thang is so crazy that it’s a true story!
I love this, anything Shonda touches is gold anyway
Love the names of the different camps!!
#AbsentAnnas represent!
Seems really interesting. Dope review. Will be checking this out.
Hi Tait, first comment on this video from Switzerland
What’s up, Raphael!?
You can't just go "Well she got money after the traumatic event" to excuse the traumatic event. She used her friends. He lied, she manipulated. Yes, men are worse and this exposes flaws in the system, but that doesn't excuse her shitty behavior. And stealing from hotels and banks, do you not think there were people she got in trouble, because I do.
Agreed. I imagine a lot of low level workers lost their jobs because of her. Her family wants nothing to do with her.
I cant believe theres People that think she's innocent.
For real people thinks that money fixes trauma but that’s not how it works I felt so bad for Rachel! People praise Anna for scamming people but blame Rachel for trying to make some money of her life experience 🤦🏽♀️ and I also can’t imagine the consequences the poor hotel staff had to suffer because of Anna’s greed, this world is so messed up!
Chile..this whole thing is about Caucasian persuasion. Shonda was reaching too because this story wasn't as deep as she tried to make it. There's so much I want to say but I will not type a novel. But this did not need 9 episodes.
I was conned when I was 20. I "lent" this very charming person money that I really couldn't afford losing. After some time I was able to get some perspective on the whole event and came to the painful conclusion that I was a willing participant. I can't say I wanted to lose that money but I ignored a voice telling me that I really didn't have a reason to trust this person. I am looking forward to watching this show.
No. I'm sorry but this just blames the victims. What if you have a disability? What if you are not well versed in social graces? It is scary that people will blame the victim and that could lead to agency being taken away from.people because of liars and manipulators.
@@annen8331 You're right. I was a victim. I stopped being a victim when I took my power back. There were a lot of red flags that told me that I was being taken advantage of. I ignored them because I was being romanced. I resolved to use this as a learning experience. If an unemployed, but beautiful & charming, man wants to borrow money from me that is a red flag. It's also helped me in other areas of my life. I don't lend money that I can't afford to lose.
@@msj7872No. You didn't. You just created a hate of other victims that you then proceed to shame for being victimized. Which is fucking awful.
@@annen8331 I understand and acknowledge how you feel about this.
@@msj7872 i applaud u for dusting urself off and accepting it as a learning exp, but u also have to understand that it was not entirely your fault for falling for 'anna'. every person has weakness and desires and ppl like anna know exactly what to do to make u work towards her agenda. when u understand this, u can also be more understanding of others who fall prey to ppl like anna.and realize to not call urself a willing partcipant...so willingly.
Dry series. There was no "Aha moment" that revealed Anna Delvy was a genius, she was just hyped by other characters and benefited from White Privilege. If it had of been a Black woman stealing...
It's sickening!!!
Juuuuust when I was about to cancel my subscription with that price increase! Camp 2 here.
(Also...when is that Tait's Take merch dropping? Need it!)
::whispers:: link in bioooooo
ALSO! You can’t cancel Netflix! It’s a lifetime contract.
I was going to skip this one but after hearing your review I will watch it! I heard about this story on the show American Greed s13 e14. All I could think was why didn't anybody do a background check before handing over money? And it sucked her friend was bamboozled into paying for the trip, but at least she got to enjoy it!
As far as the Siamese twin goes Maybe he was guilty of Identity Theft? But only while you were asleep so you had no idea?
High key, the preview was gripping!!! I’m so glad you reviewed this because Netflix fed it to me and I was intrigued. I’m a fan of both women (Ozark and My Girl). Ya got me! And yes for the Wendy clip! Miss my girl. Could really use a 20mil scratch off too. Dah well.
Plot "How netflix got played by scammer who was still in the slammer."
I never heard of Anna but was in it for another JuliaG experience. I enjoyed your “‘Scuze me while I channel MLK, Che, Ghandi, and Phred” moment. Saw the YT by Julia about getting the accents. She. Is. Phenomenal. I will bear her children.
Gripping its the perfect word for it. Its one of those shows to play back after dosing off on it.
I'm in the 4th camp that has heard the name Anna Sorokin, but never knew why the people were talking about her.
Vivian Kent was awful! Her face was hard to watch.
I'm on episode 4 and it's been painful too get this far. Her overacting and facial expressions is hard to watch.
@@valb9111 Very!
By your logic nobody should go to jail.
Explain what you mean?
That lawyer could be a young version of Gary Vaynerchuk if Gary V was doing a courtroom gig. The accent, look, and "swagger".
I am definitely a Absent Anna lol I knew nothing about this. She may have committed fraud but it seems she is the smartest person in the situation! Smh
I would love to see your review of the show one of us is lying
you are soooo right
I’m a Sorokin Somewhat
You are so freakin' funny. 😂🤣
Omg I said the same thing, if she was black there would not be a story to tell.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you make me sick, an expired visa not the credit card kind.... 🤣🤣 took me out
