I liked it about as much as I expected hahaOh yeah, well I liked it more than I thought I would!
Maybe I need to give this a second chance. I loved Blanchett's performance and believe she more than deserves the Oscar, but the movie as a whole left me a bit underwhelmed. When it was over I was like "...that was it?" which is the last thing you want to feel when the credits start to roll.Watched Tar last night on Peacock. Cate Blanchett is amazing in that role. I could easily see that winning Best Picture next month.
I had the same feelings after it was over. It just ended. I thought a lot more about it this morning. I feel that's the point though. She went from this massive high of the beginning to relative obscurity. She had so much power that she abused and got away with for years. She has the breakdown when she's not allowed to perform Mahler that she's then such a pariah that the only work they can find for her is in the Philippines doing a video game live score with cosplayers. Yet she's still a professional and treats it with the same reverence she treated Mahler.Maybe I need to give this a second chance.

Was not really a fan of this one. One of the more bizarre best original screenplay wins in recent years.
I liked it. Had completely forgotten it won best original screenplay and looking at the nominees, i think maybe either Licorice Pizza or Don't Look Up could have been a "worthy" winner but i've never been good at guessing which film might win best screenplayWas not really a fan of this one.

The category was really rough last year, but I would have gone with Worst Person in the World, no contest.I liked it.
