(Photo by Matt Licari/Invision/AP) The Associated Press By LINDSEY BAHR, AP Film Writer When Cate Blanchett got out of her very first screening for” Tár,” she wished to instantly return and view it once again. Sure, she may be a little prejudiced considering she stars in the movie (and found out how to speak German, carry out an orchestra and play piano for the function ), however it’s not an unusual belief either. Writer-director Todd Field’s thick, literate drama about the fall of a creative genius in a #MeToo scandal is one that asks conversation and another watching.
