TÁR – Oh this is extraordinary! Bravo! Bravo! A confident, beautifully crafted study of an epic downfall. A ravishing look at how ego and obsession with power can warp one's mind, carving out the souls of those who cannot stop their pursuit of more power. Perfection. #Venezia79 pic.twitter.com/UqAgtck5Cd

TÁR is incredible and kept reminding me of Kenneth Lonergan’s masterpiece MARGARET, with its focus on a flawed, frustrating, often hilariously self-involved protagonist and the people she leaves in her wake. Blanchett slays hard. It’s her career-achievement reel all in one movie!

TÁR is one of the boldest and most exciting new American movies I’ve seen in years. I can’t stop thinking about it.

Todd Field! Cate Blanchett!! Lydia Tár!!!

Todd Field’s Tár won’t be everyones cup of tea. It’s totally pretentious in its direction, script and length but it’s worth watching for Cate Blanchett’s triumphant performance as a powerhouse conductor – an Oscar nom seems inevitable for her.

TÁR is a wild & surprisingly accessible ride for those who know little about composition. It starts off slow, but finds a flow as it progresses. Cate Blanchett proves again just how remarkably talented she is & will surely have another Oscar nomination headed her way #Venezia79 pic.twitter.com/pJtt2VaF6p

TÁR at #Venezia79 has top form Blanchett in full flight. It’s a prickly, dense and uneasy film – in the best way. Shades of horror work perfectly. God it’s good to have Todd Field back.
