I thought this was an exceptional psychological thriller.
I post a notice here in honor of the lecture scene wherein Cate Blanchett's Lydia Tár, speaking of composers "appropriating" the work of others, declaims that Jerry Goldsmith lifted the sound of the Planet of the Apes score from Edgard Varèse.

I think it's great that Goldsmith got a mention at all in the dialogue of such a "highbrow" film. I'm really interested in seeing this movie now. It has had some rave reviews. If the Blanchett character mouths off about Planet of the Apes, Goldsmith and Edgard Varèse, it's a promising sign.

I'm not surprised that this one hasn't gotten more comment.
The generally touchy folk around here don't seem built for it, especially something that's as female-centric as this.

There was a lot of chat about this one, I think in a thread on the other side of the board. It was generally agreed that even though it appeared pejorative on the surface, it was really a compliment and a measure of the respect in which the film makers held JG.
Yes, there were probably equal parts Goldsmith and Guðnadóttir posts.
But what did anyone think about the movie itself?

I think this movie and its character personalities are a fitting barometer of our time.
The brittle hold of "elites", the smoldering resentments of subordinates, the entrapment of status realized, the pharmaceutical crutches; all the worst problems (and some of the best attributes) are there.
I loved the ending.
