Review of Tár

Tár (2022)
4/10
Long boring pretentious slog.

A few years ago I was complaining that every movie was 90 minutes. Well the pendulum has swung and 2.5+ hours isn't that unusual. Tár edited down to 90 minutes might really have been something.

I thought the projectionist screwed up and showed the end credits from the previous showing. Nope just some pretentious decision by the director to shake things up. Well that's about all that's original here.

I wonder now if the things I laughed out loud at weren't meant as sarcastic judgements of the music world. I found some comedy, but seemed alone in that in my theater screening.

This is the story of a supposedly brilliant artist, that we're give little evidence of, who is in fact a terrible person. Tale as old as time. There's a myriad of sub plots and the big mystery isn't that much of a mystery when we're given such big direct clues early on.

A far more interesting turn of events and more of a social commentary would have been if she got away with it. A la Woody Allen.
