TÁR (R)

From writer-producer-director Todd Field comes TÁR, starring Cate Blanchett as Lydia Tár, the groundbreaking conductor of a major German Orchestra. We meet Tár at the height of her career, as she's preparing both a book launch and much-anticipated live performance of Mahler's Fifth Symphony. Over the ensuing weeks her life begins to unravel in a singularly modern way. The result is a searing examination of power, and its impact and durability in today's society.

Peter Travers  ABC News:  "Start engraving the name Cate Blanchett on the Oscar for Best Actress. As a virtuoso classical music conductor blindsided by cancel culture, she is an absolute stunner in a Todd Field spellbinder that belongs on every list of the best movies of 2022."

Glenn Kenny  RogerEbert.com:  "TÁR is that rarest of items: a prestige awards contender that’s also a genuine art film."

Leah Greenblatt  Entertainment Weekly:  "The movie belongs to Blanchett, in a turn so exacting and enormous that it feels less like a performance than a full-body possession."

Justin Chang  Los Angeles Times:  "I didn’t want it to end."

David Rooney  Hollywood Reporter:  "A significant leap in maturity, control and confidence that takes risks at every step. What’s more, they consistently pay off in a transfixing movie that feels like no other."

David Ehrlich  IndieWire:  "One of the boldest and most exciting new American movies I’ve seen in years."
