'Start engraving the name Cate Blanchett on the Oscar for Best Actress.'

Her virtuoso performance as classical music conductor and composer Lydia Tár is an absolute stunner, destined to leave its mark on movie history and be talked about for years. No wonder Blanchett is the toast of film festivals from Venice to New York.

Don't be put off by the film's high-art sheen, the name dropping of Mahler, Bach and her mentor Leonard Bernstein, soon to be played by Bradley Cooper in "Maestro." Though Lydia's recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 5 is the background that Field uses to tell his story, it's the dangers that arise when discipline wars with human chaos that fire up the film.
