Tár—A Review

Understanding cultural elites

Tár (2022) is receiving rave reviews from film critics. So I decided to go see it over the weekend.

I’ve written before that I watch movies and TV shows to understand elites.

The plot of this movie has been more or less revealed in the headlines of prestige media. It’s a commentary on MeToo, cancel culture, the question of whether we can separate art from artist, and so on.  

But fair warning, some spoilers ahead.
