Tár (2022)

The Cate Blacnhett Show - but something was missing
16 November 2022
It was an intersting character study with some great performances. What I missed was kind of a red-line throughout the film. There was not much of a plot but rather very character focussed. Which is not a bad thing at all, but if you consider a character based movie I think it is important to make some actions and motivations of that character clear to the audience. It was not always clear to me why Lydia Tár was this cold-hearted person as she was portrait.

It is a very dialogue driven film, with some really incredible dialogue work I give Todd Field all applause for this part. The leading performance by Cate Blanchett was as expected absolutely fantastic and truely worhty of awards recognition. The rest of the cast most specifically Sophia Kauer and Nina Hoss were also great. The score and general look and feel absolutely good.

In the essence I would say it is a movie you can respect and appreciate more than you can emotionally get invested in and in the end "love".

For sure a MUST see if you love strong performances and in the end it is an intersting take about the on-going cancel-culture we all are living in.
