Tár is an engrossing drama that follows the life and downfall of a famous musician.

When all elements seem to conspire against her, Lydia's adopted daughter Petra becomes an integral emotional support for her struggling mother. [2022, US, 158 min, Rating: R] Michael Calleri of Niagra Gazette pens, “Tar is an uncompromising cinematic microscope examining creativity and the refusal to compromise. Cate Blanchett plays Lydia with a fierce, laser-like dedication to her character’s myriad desires and demons. A best actress Oscar nomination is assured.” Dustin Chase of Galveston Daily News says, “As Lydia Tár subtly conducts her destruction, Blanchett moves in the opposite direction — towards brilliance.” Venue: Cinema Art Theater.
