Writer-driector Todd Fields' long-awaited third feature, Tár, is now playing in select theaters. Critic Andrew Wyatt has a review of the film, which stars Cate Blanchett as a classical composer-conductor on the brink of a fall from grace.
"Although the film is not not a story about the vagaries of so-called cancel culture, nothing about Tár is simple, least of all the way it regards its diabolical protagonist. The film treats its titular villainess with a depth and complexity that feels sapphire-rare in our current cinematic landscape. It fears for her soul even as it savors her well-deserved comeuppance,"
