Where to watch Tár

For his first directorial feature film since 2006, Todd Field crafted a fictional saga of a composer and conductor named Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett). In the 2022 movie Tár, Blanchett plays the first female chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, who is about to record a symphony that seems likely to take her career to new heights.

Of course, that doesn’t go according to plan, and the next 140 minutes are a chronicle of one woman’s downfall due to her own ego. As one of last year’s most acclaimed movies, Tár has entered the cultural zeitgeist, winning many critical awards and reaping Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress. It’s about to hit streaming services, but where can one watch it and when?

After a successful theatrical run, Tár is coming to a familiar streaming service: Peacock. Launched in 2020, Peacock is the home to NBC Universal and Comcast properties such as Universal Pictures, the Olympics, Bravo, and Saturday Night Live.

Peacock is the streaming home to popular NBC shows like The OfficeThis Is UsLaw & Order, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The service boasts many sports programs from the WWE, NFL, and Premier League as well. Peacock has also expanded its scripted and non-scripted original programming, including shows like Vampire Academy, Dr. Death, and a documentary about Casey Anthony. In addition, it’s home to blockbuster movies like Nope and modern rom-coms like Ticket to Paradise.

When does Tár stream for subscribers?

Tár will stream on Peacock on January 27.

How much does it cost?

There is no fee to sign up for the most basic level of Peacock, and there is no credit card required upon signing up. All that’s needed is an email address for users to access 10,000-plus hours of content for free. The free tier is very limiting in terms of content. If you would like to access more programs from Peacock, there are various paid tiers to explore.

Peacock Premium is the first paid tier on the streaming service, with access to over 80,000-plus hours of entertainment for a monthly price of $5, or $50 per year. This tier contains ads, but allows users to access new films and live events. If this tier is too restricting, users can upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus, which costs $10 per month, or $100 per year. Premium Plus includes everything from Premium, but contains no ads and allows users to download and watch programs offline.

Is Tár worth watching?

TÁR - Official Trailer [HD] - In Select Theaters October 7

One of the most acclaimed movies of 2022, Tár is a drama that never feels drawn-out or preachy. While Tár wears its pretentious on its sleeve, it does so in order to get at its lead character’s many contradictions. As Lydia, Blanchett is never less than amazing, and in a career full of great performances in such films as Elizabeth, The Talented Mr. Ripley, I’m Not There, Notes on a Scandal, Blue Jasmine, Carol, and the Lord of the Rings movies, that’s saying something.

Tár also stars Nina Hoss, Sophie Kauer, Noemie Merlant, and Mark Strong. The movie runs two hours and 37 minutes, but it never feels too long. On Rotten Tomatoes, Tár sits at 90% on the Tomatometer and registers a 73% audience score.

Mending the Line is Netflix’s most-watched movie right now. Here’s why you should watch it
Brian Cox, Sinqua Walls, and Perry Mattfeld in Mending the Line.

There's a new No. 1 film on top of the list of the most popular movies on Netflix. And it's not a thriller like Mel Gibson's Over the Line, or an action fantasy like Damsel. Instead, this week's most popular film on Netflix is Mending the Line, a low-budget film that stands apart from the standard streaming movies. And its budget doesn't get in the way of telling an extremely moving and emotional story.

Mending the Line had so little fanfare compared to other movies that it's genuinely surprising how quickly it found the type of audience on Netflix that eluded the film during its initial release in 2022. If you're looking to pick out something to see on your next movie night, these are the three reasons why you should watch Mending the Line on Netflix. You may even decide to take up fly fishing afterward.
Mending the Line has a fantastic cast

Like Peacock’s latest hit Apples Never Fall? Then watch these 3 great shows now
3 shows watch like apples never fall peacock

Apples Never Fall is Peacock’s latest in the mystery drama genre. Based on the book by Liane Moriarty, the series features an incredible cast led by Annette Bening and Sam Neill and set in the beautiful backdrop of Miami. When family matriarch Joy (Bening) mysteriously goes missing, it’s up to the kids and her husband to figure out what happened to her. Fingers point to a young woman who showed up at the doorstep months prior looking for help and who ended up befriending Joy. But evidence seems to suggest her husband Stan (Neill) might have had something to do with it, a fact their four grown kids can’t seem to reconcile. Every episode tells a different part of the story, revealing secrets, lies, and betrayal behind the family’s seemingly pristine façade.

With all seven episodes available to stream at once, anyone who watches will power through the twists, turns, and reveals to watch right through to the end. Once done, however, you’ll be looking for something else. If you liked Apples Never Fall, these three shows are worth checking out as well.
