It’s been a little over a month since Todd Field’s “TÁR” was released in theaters, but it’s already making its way on VOD this coming Tuesday.
Field’s film, one of the very best released this year, can be seen at the comfort of your own home on 11.15.22. Despite the rave reviews, “TÁR” hasn’t been lighting up the box-office by any stretch of the imagination. It has currently made a little over $4 million.
Field hadn’t directed a film since “Little Children” (2006) and, before that, his incendiary debut “In the Bedroom” (2001). That is until “TÁR,” his first statement in over 16 years.
Amy Taubin described “TÁR,” as “The Most Racist S**t I Have Ever Seen,” which means you absolutely have to watch it. In fact, what’s so brilliant about Field's slowburner of a film, a treatise on separating art from artist, is that he leaves it up to the viewer to decide whether “TÀR” is anti-cancel culture or a tongue-in-cheek condemnation of Cate Blanchett‘s brilliant but prickly conductor.
Paul Greengrass’ "The Uprising," starring Andrew Garfield, opened to $3.2M from 2,068 theaters this weekend. Yikes. The budget hasn’t been disclosed, but is said to be in the $20-$30M range.
