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.

Critics Consensus

Led by the soaring melody of Cate Blanchett's note-perfect performance, Tár riffs brilliantly on the discordant side of fame-fueled power.

Audience Says

Tár can be tough to follow, although Cate Blanchett in the title role makes it mostly worth the effort.

A cut above in terms of style, performance, and ideas, Todd Field’s film about a celebrity conductor accused of sexual misconduct is essential cinema.

Rated: 5/5

Much like Lydia herself, Tar is a skilful, polished and fascinating piece of work, but it’s missing a beating heart.

Rated: 3.5/5

Sydney Morning Herald

The film is a genuine tragedy -- a black comic tragedy, but a tragedy nonetheless. When great artists betray their talent by treating it carelessly and abusing the power that comes with it, it’s always a tragedy.

Rated: 4.5/5

Sojourners

By placing the credits at the start of the film, Tár insists that oft-ignored people matter — even if Lydia pretends that they do not.

This film is so brilliant because every aspect of it is so perfect, so well crafted and honed into that perfection. What an absolute marvel this film is.

This script is so incredibly well written and fascinating. I loved the ride this film takes you on as you witness a person become completely unraveled and already can’t wait for the second viewing.

Cate Blanchett's range of emotions exhibited through her acting is superb. The closeup orchestra rehearsal scenes are extraordinarily insightful for those who maybe have never been a part of a performing ensemble.
