The worst film performances of 2023
SalonIt’s time once again for the 2023 acting hall of shame — the year’s most wrongheaded performances by talented people. 03 Anthony Hopkins in “Freud’s Last Session” Anthony Hopkins in “Freud’s Last Session” This stuffy chamber drama features an insufferable humble-bragging performance by Hopkins as Sigmund Freud. 04 Channing Tatum in “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” Channing Tatum in “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” There sure were diminishing returns for this third entry in the series about exotic dancer Mike Lane based on the actor’s past — and not just because the hunky actor never gets nekkid. 05 Liam Neeson in “Marlowe” Liam Neeson in “Marlowe” Neeson’s lazy performance as Raymond Chandler’s famed Philip Marlowe is a prime example of what could have been. 07 Uma Thurman in “Red White & Royal Blue” Uma Thurman in “Red, White & Royal Blue" Sometimes a performance is so bad it’s actually great.
