Challenging film

We are just back from seeing Tar, starring Cate Blanchett, selected by many critics as the best film of 2022.
 
 “You realise you are the only man here,” I whisper  to M as we settle into our 
 seats .
 
I had a vague idea of the story line, about a classical woman conductor , and did have misgivings that M would not like it but then I had never known the Macrobert arts centre  select a duff film. 
 
Well, lets say it was challenging and Cate Blanchett gives a powerful performance as a predatory classical musical conductor with an eye for “ fresh meat”.
 
The Independent critic summed it up: 
“Tár is essentially about our current moment, and all the whirlpools of discourse around #MeToo and “cancel culture”.
