Last I saw was Tàr in the cinemas when it came out. I liked it, not a lot, but I liked it and defended it against my partner who didn’t think much of it.

But I haven’t had a film fade away in my mind as much as this, where I went from liking it, to kind of forgetting it and eventually criticising it, just passively as my mind mulled over the film.

When it came time for the Oscars I accurately predicted it wasn’t going to win anything because I suspected I wasn’t alone in this feeling … that others would eventually feel like maybe it was just technically good and not actually about much.
