Talented and humble. Definition of a Class Act.
Best movie I've seen all year. I first thought it was just a vehicle for Cate Blanchett to win another Oscar, but it's more than that, so far this is the leading Best Picture candidate for me. Mind you I haven't watched the trailer, read reviews prior to viewing and I strongly suggest to everyone to do the same. SPOILERS follow. Tár is a masterclass of how to build a story, how to mislead or lead the audience, how to use the overall presentation of the movie in its first two thirds to fuel the message in the final third. It's one of the best stories about a fall from grace, because the movie doesn't sell itself as a story about a fall from grace. You know something will happen, but the movie convinces you it's pretty much about the life of a well-off, highly sophisticated, educated, rich and demanding conductor, who has some mild issues in her life. The movie is almost distant, cold, it shows off its eloquence and sophistication to the point you might find it a bit arrogant, poseurish, but then you realize in the final third it's all by design so you understand the stark difference between the leading character's life at the beginning and at the end. It should be mandatory viewing for anyone in power, or anyone attempting to get into power. Because as this movie beautifully shows, while you're at the top, you see so many things differently - people, situations, etc. And then when it turns around, suddenly those that seemed laughable or weak are those you need to rely on, those who suddenly laugh at you. Special movie.
The best!

I felt shocked by the ending of Tár, it really hit me, and made me ponder on what could happen in the character’s future. Could she come back from such a slap-down? The movie mentions shaping “time” and maybe in time, she can be redeemed. Would love to see a sequel!

I haven't been this excited to see a film in a long time. Blanchett looks so masterful in these clips, and Seth Doane's gentle, thoughtful interviewing style pulls the "real" from her without being invasive. I'm also excited that this film presents a character who just happens to be a lesbian without making it a "lesbian film," which reveals maybe progress in representation and that sexuality is seen as normal human experience not the only experience.
An amazing artist indeed..🌸🙏😘♥️💜💠💙💚
What a gem this woman is! A true blessing to the world. The great ones are always humble.

Glad Seth covered the personal side and the separation of work and confidence; good reminder to us all the highly accomplished don’t always feel how they’re perceived by others - even when you’ve made it you still work hard and keep learning.
