Could arts be viewed independently without considering morals of artists? I think reducing the movie to being about _"cancel culture"_ is doing it a disservice.

I had no idea what to expect going into _Tar_, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. It's sharp, it's in your face, it's dynamic, a brilliant piece or writing. It's almost unbelievable that this is not based on a true story because it all feels so incredibly real.

The pacing was slow, especially the first hour to hour and a half, however, it somehow made 158 minutes pass by without me realizing.
Performances, cinematography, screenplay - all of it is just done so well. The dialogue can feel very pretentious, especially when it dives into the engine that drives classical music. Cate Blanchett is so mesmerising that you actually forget it's Cate Blanchett and that Lydia Tár is not a real person. It’s the kind of complex role that women only rarely get.

What I loved. The ending! Perfection! [spoiler]Having trouble finding the words to talk about the plot but apparently rock bottom for a famous conductor is a live anime show.[/spoiler]
