Tar

In films like these we need to relate or like someone who is being terrorised but instead i hate all these characters . especially the hero is not at all a hero material...... poor acting

Tar means 'teer' in dutch, wich is almost another word for weak. And there you have it. I was tricked into watching this movie by the good reviews. Those good reviews however, were made by people who, almost without exception, joined imdb in october 2020. The same month this movie premiered. 1+1=2. I feel cheated. In short: Movie isn't that good. I've seen worse. But most of the movies I see are way better.

Bad editing, slow and not in a good way lazy music and a plot that spends to much time sweating the small stuff instead of being focused. average student film fare

This movie started out with promise. I liked the first few minutes and was waiting with anticipation to see what came next. WOW! I was totally disappointed by how much minutes 5-25 sucked! That's when I gave up and couldn't take any more of it. How did a movie with a known actor and great potential suck so badly? Your guess is as good as mine. But, I think I'm being generous giving it 3 stars.

Monochromatic in design tone and all other facets. Forced acting due to lack of story. (What was she accused of anyway?!). Humorless. The best scene was the last scene. Thats where the movie should have begun. It was the first time I noticed Ms Blanchett trying to act, but she had nothing to work with except motions towards notions, not anything solid. And my favorite...no back story to guide us about how to feel about Lydia? One might say this is the opposite of Babylon, an equally bad movie, but with richness in color, acting, character and textures. Tar? Its not very good. If they make a Tar II based on the last scene, propelling Lydia to have a personality, I might like that.
