Conversely, as New Year’s Day draws near, a feeling of dread descends: surely the next year will be unimaginably awful, making the previous one look like the proverbial garden party in comparison. Boy, I hope I’m wrong about 2021, because in 2020 the only garden party of note was the super-spreader event celebrating Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court. It’s hard to imagine a worse year than the one we’re about to leave behind … but at least we had some good films to distract us from the pandemic, the President, the lightning siege and the rest.
