Easily the best film to come out of Hollywood in years.

I thrill just thinking of Cate’s performance. “I am Petra’s father.” ****chills****

TÁR should have been nominated for Sound and there’s nothing that can convince me otherwise. The Sound design in the film is flawless.

Tar and Nope not even being shortlisted for Best Sound was a complete joke

We all are.

Quite a weak box office performance.

Undoubtedly. But, given how it started, how it fared in US, this is at least something. It is far from breaking zero, but something. Box office has not been kind to adult cinema lately.

It’s interesting to me when people cite the opening conversation and Lydia’s lecture at Julliard as the best written aspects of the film because as well written and showily written those scenes are, for me the most strikingly crafted scenes are the film’s more down to earth sequences. Take when Lydia is talking to her daughter who tries to give a pencil to each of her toys to which Lydia goes on to inform her that “they can’t all conduct” or when Sharon scolds Lydia not for the actions she has committed but for not telling her their life as a family was in danger. You could argue these are silly throw away lines that anyone could have written (which is true) but I think without them you wouldn’t really be drawn into the world presented to you as convincingly.

Solidarity with the striking writers. Pay them the wages they are owed for bringing us the content we are all on here because of!

I still feel so down for her loss. My intelligence says that the performance will stand the test of time and be studied and look upon as this towering achievement. But my heart is broken that Blanchett is not a 3rd time winner.

Ah well.

I LOVED the small parts that made me feel like I was suddenly watching a psychological thriller

This is sad news for me. TAR was the first Todd Field film I’d seen and it singlehandedly made me a fan of him. I was really looking forward to his next film, whenever it was. At least it’s not a certainty yet.

I'm back bitches.

Also the comments are so annoyingly savage towards Everything Everywhere. Why can’t you be mad about your favorite film not winning Oscars without feeling the need to tear apart the competition?

I'm back bitches.

He’s not a creature of habit and it’s clear that making movies is a labor of love for him. He has just delivered a project that certainly required a high level of personal dedication to be carried out, so it’s understandable that he’s a little frazzled and not positive about going through it again. He also seems like the type of director who looks to create a film as a piece of art and rejects more industrial notions of mass production, so constant creation to meet public demand is not one of his concerns. It was 16 years of Little Children when Tár was released, that gives you an idea…
Stanley Kubrick, Jacques Tati, Jonathan Glazer, Harmony Korine, Lynne Ramsay, Lucile Hadžihalilović, and Terrence Malick are examples of directors who often took long breaks between jobs but whose work remains important nonetheless. That is to say, give it time, 10 years or so and I’m sure inspiration will lead him to another film.
