One of these movies is a triumph - the other a train wreck

Last week I thought Michelle Williams (The Fablemans) was unbeatable for Best Actress at this year’s Oscars, but after watching Tár, it’s hard to see Cate Blanchett coming second.

Todd Field’s film about a musical genius who falls for the seductions of fame and power, is a classic Faustian tale. Blanchett’s Lydia Tár doesn’t exactly sell her soul to the devil, but she shows us that talent is one thing, morality another.
