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.

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

5/5

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.

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

4.5/5

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.

3.5/5

It's an interesting film that could easily be based on real events, but it's a captivating fiction due to the themes and concerns it raises. Its technical merits stand out, as does Cate Blanchett's performance. [Full Review in Spanish]

Was she defending Bach, or her own long whispered-about behavior? Is this a tell that her previous and habitual misdeeds have been on her mind? In a way, she tips her hand. No one questioned the merits of the work, merely their relationship to it.

4/5

Field narrows his focus and settles instead on the film being a sumptuously told but ultimately straightforward comeuppance cautionary tale of supreme arrogance supremely humbled.

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.
