I like the staging in the apartment. I think that the character snaps between their keyposes. You could add some more intrigue to the animation by arc-checking the movements of the arms and adding some overlap and follow through between poses.

Alexander Dvorak:

The movements are too quick. I try using the graph editor to add see just how sharp the curves are and see if you can mitigate that.

Seth Lawrence:

Hello! I think your poses are strong, however I believe your animation could benefit from some breakdown passes where you could and more poses in between to smoothen out these jittery actions. I also would advise that you not use a moving camera for a scene in which the character is static. A stronger context of why the character looks at his watch and why he's drinking alone will definetly improve the storytelling aspect of this animation. With these improvements, I believe your animation will become something even greater than what it already is. Great Job!

Ben Zingo:

Make sure you're using easing, and tweak those curves! Also include offset between the limbs, so that they're not starting and stopping at the same time. Also make sure you're giving yourself enough time to reach a pose, and think about having a mix of some fast-ish movements, and some slow. Contrast in timing of an animation is like color or value contrast in a still image
