Editor's Note: The Austin NextTribe group saw this film on Thursday October 26th, the day the film was released nationally. The reaction from one NextTriber was, “What the actual F did we just watch?” We don’t want to give the plot away, but the final scenes were completely unexpected, at least to us!

Until I read a review after watching the film Tár, I thought it was based on a real person, as her character is so believable, so well drawn. Lydia Tár, as played by Cate Blanchett, is at the pinnacle of her career as the conductor of the Berlin Orchestra. In the opening scene, we see the maestro being interviewed live on stage by a staffer from The New Yorker. We hear the kudos about her remarkable work and witness her passionate explanations of the responsibilities and power of the conductor within the body of musicians who make up her orchestra. She is able to articulate to her audience the mysterious nuances of sound and performance.
