Film Review: “Tár” — Music Is Her Master

Tar is about a major artist with an outsize ego who ignores at her peril the seismic shifts in the culture.

Film Review: ‘Hanna’ — One Terrifying Little Girl

While there are some holes in “Hanna”, director Joe Wright doesn’t let them interrupt the overall enjoyable experience of the film. Known for period movies where he dotes on scenic landscapes, he takes this opportunity to prove himself a thoroughly modern director here. Hanna. Directed by Joe Wright.
