I saw it in a theater back in late October, and I thought it was glum and pretentious. The beginning where Tár gives several overlong speeches was especially insufferable. Things improved slightly when the actual plot started to kick in, but overall I could not wait for it to be over.
I would love for someone to come along now and make the opposite of Tár: a low backstage comedy that depicts how the practice of classical music is just another ridiculous corner of show business. Come to think of it, is that what Mozart in the Jungle was? I never saw it.
