This movie is literally what I would least want to see in a horror movie: cliché American college students being complete idiots who make out in half of the film, a series of awful cgi with absolutely no purpose, average acting as well as a pointless scenario with probably one of the worst plots I have witnessed to this day.

Don't be fooled by the good reviews: if you are someone who expects to see a quality or at least an acceptable horror movie, this one will definitely not suit you. If you are someone who is satisfied with watching handsome people's abs like Chris Hemsworth's and a few zombies popping out of nowhere, I think this movie is made just for you.

In music-related films, it's not uncommon to see actors who fail to mimic musicians, since they don't follow any technique whatsoever, which can be undoubtedly distracting and bad for the movie, mostly for the ones who can spot these mistakes.

"Tár" didn't disappoint in this field. Most of the actors seemed to know what they were doing, a fact which I -as a musician- really appreciate. The script was very accurate with the use of terminology as well.

Kate Blanchett really stood out as the protagonist and it felt like she was deeply connected with her character, so the Oscar nomination for her performance is well deserved. She gave a quite unique perspective of the personality of a highly successful maestro, who has more troubles than most of us can imagine.

The only negative thing for me about this movie was its duration. The plot doesn't justify an almost 3-hour film, which left me a bit tired in the end.

Nevertheless, I'd say it's a must-watch!
