Review of TÁR (2022) by Unclewillard — 14 Feb 2023
TAR is beautiful to watch and I'm not just talking about Cate Blanchet. I love how we're 100% onboard with TAR's genius, even after her career starts to decay. I'm sure there are many layers to this, but the one that struck me most was her encounter with the student in her class who simply can't imagine NOT judging art through the lens of identity politics. I love how she framed her argument that it was about the music and not the person and then how, even despite that truth, that very essence is turned against her and lesser people steal her art.
Where it loses me is the blurred lines. Why is this statement being made? I haven't delved into reviews yet as I'm still chewing on my own opinion, and I'm guessing I'm missing something, but the ending was not as satisfying as I'd hoped it would be.
