TÁR

asks what it means to be remembered and presents several answers. I dont know what I'm supposed to take from this and I think that's almost the point, and that's dumbfounding because I think this movie does nearly everything perfectly. I think Cate Blanchett is approaching all-time levels with this performance, not just in her career, but maybe.. of anyone's career? As in, her work could be remembered in entertainment polls in 50 years as the greatest performance of our time. But saying something like that kind of flies in the face of what Tár is trying to say: that the coin which on one side reads 'idolize' reads 'scrutinize' on the other. It is possible to be both great and vile, and most of us are. Some just happen to be greater (and some more vile) than others
