film critic Dana Stevens emails with fellow critics—this year, Bilge Ebiri, Alison Willmore, and Odie Henderson—about the year in cinema. Below is Entry 7.Thank you guys for tossing me a subject near and dear to my heart: great performances in not-so-great movies.
I’ll start off with what might be my most upsetting choice: Kathryn Hunter’s performance of the Witches in Joel Coen’s. Upsetting not because people don’t think her performance is great but because most critics seem to have liked the film a lot more than I did. For me, the strained austerity of Coen’s approach to the material never really paid off—in part because he’s not an austere director, and his sensibility is all wrong for such a minimalist aesthetic.
