The Year in Pictures

Every year, the New York Times Magazine gathers together the best performers from the last 12 months for a series of shorts built around a common theme. This year, everyone danced and the results are glorious.

Overall not even really worth seeing if you are a fan

This is &quot;Let&#39;s Dance&quot; and with that I do not mean the cringewworthy television show where celebrities dance and every week the weakest has to go, but a collection of really short films featuring the big players from awards season 2018. Each of those runs for under a minute and I am not sure if overall we really get to 12 minutes if we add them up. Not too important anyway. The director is Justin Peck this time, probably somehow linked to dance choreographies and this explains why he got cast here and not an experienced filmmaker. He probably has other collections to NY Times as well. This famous paper every year makes these little films with the awards contestants and in 2018, they want for dance. Not my favourite subject I must admit. So my subjective standpoint also has a lot to do for sure with me not really liking the majority of outcomes here. Then again, I do not really think that dance was dominant and so much in the center of these snippets that it felt entirely essential. I will spare you the names of all the people who were a part of this in terms of a list as you can check that out yourself. Even if the actress is certainly not my favorite, the by far best segment was the one including Julia Robert in my opinion. The reverie (did not know that word, means daydreaming) in the subway felt like something we all do, even if probably not really about this subject. Or maybe others do and I don&#39;t. But the dance sequence was alright and the frame with the guy ext to hear wearing the cylinder from the reverie was actualy really charming and nice closure. Also how we do not see his face. Could it all be true? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. The weakest as probably Collette&#39;s. She gave a performance that year that is widely considered one of the best acting performances in a horror film from the 2010s, so they (i.e. Peck) clearly thought they also need to combine her with horror here, but it wasn&#39;t working at all. Her dancing made no sense and neither did the way she was dancing, the style. Like wild disco dannce. Disappointing. About most of the others I do not have too much to say. Aparicio reminds me of the big fail that I still have not yet seen Cuarón&#39;s &quot;Roma&quot;. Colman drinks the coffee herself eventually with the two other girls fighting for it. Kinda fitting looking at what happened on Oscar night with Colman winning her category, which was quite a surprise. By the way, Close&#39;s turn as a cleaning lady is not too shabby here either, maybe my second or third favorite. But yeah, back to &quot;The Favourite&quot;, of course Stone and Weisz did not stand a chance during Oscar night, so they came out empty-handed just like they do here, but here it was actually a surprise. Hawke is always nice, but he was more fun sitting at the table than when his dancing routine began. Not among the best here. Same appplies to Stanfield and Hall and with thoe two, especially Hall, I even wonder why they were a part of this. As far away from the Oscar (nomimation) as they could have been. That&#39;s all. Watch one or two maybe including your favorites and Roberts&#39; and that is more than enough. The entire thing gets a thumbs-down from me.
