Tár (2022)
TAR, An Oscar Performance by Cate B.
Absolutely brilliant performance by Ms. Blanchett. The rapidity and clarity with which she delivered difficult dialog, both in English and German, was truly remarkable, and her deportment while delivering same was quite regal-like. As I watched, I got to wondering if her use of German was totally dubbed; if it was, it was done flawlessly.
I hung on every word, no matter the length of the work. Being a huge classical music lover, I enjoyed her recapping of famous composers' works and their personal histories.
Yes, I would nominate Cate for an Oscar for TAR, without question. A wonderful performance by a very gifted actress.

Deeper Review of 'The Pencil'
At first blush you might think what a dumb movie. However, giving it more thought, you change your mind, thinking, Hey, there's more here than I initially thought. Turns out, most of the schools other teachers are just slaves to the system, and cowards.
Our teacher heroine has strength of character, and artistic talent. She saves the talented little boy and enables his escape to St Pete, losing her life to Mischa's older bro. During the attempted escape. By helping Mischa, when he's injured, she earns his respect, and turns him against his destructive older bro.
Her death is appropriate...to memorialize her. She has accomplished everything she wanted to and, with her husbands death, what does she now have to live for?
Excellent movie ^^^^^
