Based on Jessica Pressler’s sensational 2019 story for New York Magazine, "Inventing Anna" splits its focus between Delvey and Vivian ( Anna Chlumsky), the pregnant reporter chasing Anna’s story a woman whose career splinters thanks to a source whose relationship with the truth is what you might call flexible.īut Vivian’s story just isn’t as compulsively watchable as Anna’s. When its gaze shifts, however, it’s much less so. When "Inventing Anna" is actively engaged with its central figure, it’s soapy and irresistible. And Garner nails it as the self-proclaimed German Heiress who managed to thoroughly bamboozle (and bilk) the crème de la crème of New York society. ![]() The real-life Anna Delvey captured the public’s imagination because she’s such a baffling, contradictory, compelling figure.
