Why is TÁR considered her best?

TÁR (Todd Field, 2022) is the rare Blanchett role where her specific intellectual-cognitive register is the entire dramatic engine of the film. Her Lydia Tár plays piano, conducts (rehearsed for months), speaks German fluently — the performance demands so much specific craft material that it operates as a culminating-career demonstration.
