comments Given the universal shift to home viewing during the pandemic this year, there were almost too many films to see via all of the digital platforms and streaming options. Many of the best films were lower profile and featured performances that largely flew under the radar. Here are six great performances from 2020 that deserve a look. Advertisement: As Abe Turner, a bull rider in the sunset of his career, Rob Morgan gives arguably the year's most soulful performance. Abe is a man who is physically and mentally broken, and Morgan makes you feel all his pain — especially when he hits bottom, being demoted to working as second fiddle to a rodeo clown. "I ain't no clown," he insists, trying to keep a shred of dignity. But as he sneaks sips of whiskey — in addition to the painkillers he takes to numb himself — Abe's suffering is palpable. Late in the film, he stares down a (possibly imaginary) bull. His power and his weariness in this moment speak volumes about Abe's life, and Morgan is at his most downtrodden and most heartbreaking.
