TÁR 2022
While I can appreciate this film for how technically exquisite it is, and for the layered character study at its heart, the more I reflect on it, the more some things really bother me, especially after reading/listening to some of Todd Field’s interviews on his intentions with certain choices.

Zélie Boulant also gives an incredible performance. This film is tender, layered, heartfelt, and so worth seeing.
