![]() ![]() ![]() Eventually I wanted to close my eyes just to fall asleep. They start playing, Tar stops it because something is wrong. Every time the orchestra began to play I closed my eyes and felt the beauty of the music, just as I get into it and feel goosebumps, the music is interrupted. Whenever she starts practicing the piano at home, someone knocks at the door. I thought although I have no interest in the characters conversations, perhaps I can enjoy some of the music? Nope. Most discussions at the start of the film were just pompous rambling about nothing we care about. That's where my interest piqued, unfortunately the film then descended into monotony. There was one scene where Tar's lecturing a class about the philosophy of whether or not we should enjoy the music of a composer that was a know misogynist, interesting points were made and the argument was enjoyable. There are many references to classical music and music theory that will go over most people's heads. Classical music buffs may find some enjoyment in this film, but for the rest of us plebs it'll feel like watching paint dry. I wonder, do people like this film because it's entertaining, or because it tickles their intellectual superiority complex? Perhaps there's something I missed.
