If you’d asked me a week ago to name the world’s most famous Amanda, I’d have struggled to come up with anyone other than “Hugginkiss” (thanks, Bart Simpson). And if you’d asked me to pick out a brilliant young American poet, I’d have found it almost as hard as naming a Fox News commentator I admire.
In a sense, the youth poet laureate’s awe-inspiring performance on the steps of the Capitol was the true cultural launch of 2021 – and a welcome and necessary reminder that, even in the darkest of times, talent still emerges when you least expect, and most need, it.
For a show so consumed with the idea that boredom is dangerous, “Losing Alice” certainly does take its time. Director and writer Sigal Avin so belabors the point that an idle mind can stray into self-destruction that “Losing Alice” paradoxically has the same effect on its viewers. Many times during the eight episodes of “Losing Alice,” as the series recalls other, more visceral and engaging art-imitating-life works like “Black Swan,” “Nocturnal Animals,” and “Mulholland Drive,” you might wonder what “Losing Alice” is saying about the shackles of marriage, the expectation of professional success, and the fear of aging and irrelevance that is particularly unique to these characters or these situations. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t much.
