One side-effect of not finishing the 2023 meme until it was time to do the 2024 one was that I missed mentioning Tár as being one of the best films of 2023. Of the decade. Of the century so far.

I saw it again when a 'last chance to watch' site had it as just about to disappear from Netflix (delays in writing this means it has done, sorry!) having been there for six months.

It is not for everyone, with no hand-holding in its two and a half hour runtime, and having the opening credits are the usual end credits - several minutes of a list of names in very small type - is a sign of that.

To my great disappointment, it looks like the disc versions do not have a commentary from the director and writer, otherwise I'd actually pay retail price for a copy.
