  just wonderful. one of the most subtly crafted and specific films i have seen in a while. you don’t sit through this thing expecting the camerawork to be so exquisite and masterful for how slow and talk-y it mostly is. love when a movie grips me but still sends me on a scavenger hunt of articles when it’s over! absolutely worth the incredibly confusing crowd response– pretentious, knowing cackles and guffaws through the first two acts made me feel like i somehow snuck into an all-composer screening. someone tried to get a big clap goin during the julliard scene. would’ve killed to see their face at the end

  To give a hint at what's special about TÁR you needn't look further than the opening credits. The opening credits start backwards with members of the crew that generally are at the very end of the end credits, like catering and production units and assistant editors. This is a movie about how an ego can grow too big and turn to manipulation when one role gets too much credit in a collaborative field. An orchestra is like a film set, and most collaborators get shoved to the back of a program or the end of the film credits. While this adds to the movie's run time up front, it's a fitting gesture for the movie you're about to watch.

  exquisite. a fully realized vision from page to screen. to label this film in almost any way is to do a disservice to its complexity, and the complexity of the topics at hand. there is no otherworldly finger wagging at the audience, the kinds of recent movies lacking depth that all but scream at us, “look here, think this, and feel badly about it”. the art vs the artist conversation has very rarely, if never, been seen through such a lense. but for those worried about it erring on the side of empathy, know that there is still plenty of condemnation written in the margins, waiting to be unearthed by those searching for it. for this reality is presented as…
