HomeFront: Billie Holiday, Beethoven, and Bad Bunny, plus art to comfort and calm By Marie Morris Globe Correspondent,Updated February 25, 2021, 6:35 p.m. Email to a Friend Andra Day stars in The United States vs. Billie Holiday. Takashi Seida/Hulu Welcome back to HomeFront, where the moon is almost full, the snow is melting a little, and next week is March, can you believe it? Now that I’ve all but guaranteed a freak blizzard, here are some suggestions for cocooning entertainment. FILM: The “electrifying” Andra Day deserves better than “The United States vs. Billie Holiday,” an “earnestly scattered” effort that earns 2½ stars from Globe film critic Ty Burr. Day delivers “a marvel of dramatic and vocal technique as well as a full-on possession,” he writes. “[Y]ou can’t take your eyes off Holiday, who in Day’s performance is a diva and a lost soul, the nation’s conscience and her own worst enemy.”

We needed a change, which the universe delivered in a shower of time-honored traditions and breathtaking fireworks. And by that of course I mean the ascension of meme king Bernie Sanders, whose social-media presence shattered the boundaries of time and space, and pandemic overachiever Amanda Gorman, who just since the first lockdowns has graduated from Harvard and written a poem people will be talking about for many, many years.

We’ve been studying the night sky, admiring the way we look by candlelight, and clinging to every extra minute of daylight. Winter and the longest year we can remember are both rounding the turn and heading into the homestretch, and not a moment too soon.

Six bright spots in dance this year - The Boston Globe

Six bright spots in dance this year Though live performing is virtually at a standstill, dance hasn’t stopped moving in 2020. By Karen Campbell and Jeffrey Gantz Globe Correspondent,Updated December 18, 2020, 10:01 a.m. Email to a Friend Addie Tapp and Patrick Yocum in Jerome Robbins s Glass Pieces. Liza Voll/Boston Ballet As with all the arts, the dance world has been devastated by the pandemic. The art form is fueled by the kinetic energy of bodies in motion, an energy that soars over the footlights to engage an audience with an impact not just artistic, but visceral. The loss of that communal experience between performer and audience has been reverberating painfully for months, and has come with dire economic losses, closures, and cancellations.

Ryan/Globe Staff Welcome back to HomeFront, where we’re shoveling snow, counting down to the winter solstice on Monday, and hanging on every word of the news about vaccines — or, as we like to think of them, get-out-of-jail-free cards magically crammed into little glass vials. The year that warped time is finally winding down, and that means looking back at an unprecedented 12 months. We’ve missed out on a lot of communal activities in 2020 (you’re up, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s), but one thing even a pandemic can’t take away is the bonding experience of arguing over arts and entertainment critics’ year-end lists.
