Tár

Much like Lydia herself, Tar is a skilful, polished and fascinating piece of work, but it’s missing a beating heart.

The film is a genuine tragedy -- a black comic tragedy, but a tragedy nonetheless. When great artists betray their talent by treating it carelessly and abusing the power that comes with it, it’s always a tragedy.

It’s a phenomenal picture, supported by top-tier crew...

Lydia herself is so compellingly constructed, a perfect synthesis of hypocrisy and denial, that Field’s shortcuts never cost the film much of its nuance.

It is genuinely hard to imagine anyone but Blanchett being able to pull this off so successfully.

It’s basically everything you are certain will bore you to death, but it doesn’t here. It’s riveting. The film is 157 minutes long and doesn’t drag for a single second.

You had me a Cate Blanchett!

One of the best portrayals of a narcissist i’ve ever scene

Cate Blanchett is obviously one of the greatest actors of her generation. But this. This is new. I know the weight it carries when I say this, but this is her greatest achievement as an actor. Tár should make you uncomfortable, and boy does it.

A journey that leads Lydia to a descent into the abyss of his mistakes, guilt, fear and a poetic revenge that comes against her for the wrong, but not undeserving reasons.
