And here's some brief quotes regarding what the article basically has to say:
How TÁR Gives a Nuanced Take on Wokeness and Cancel Culture
Tár Is a Psychological Masterpiece
one scene in particular has monopolized the bulk of its media attention.
it forces viewers to keep an open mind by presenting both sides of the ideological divide without ever outwardly demonizing either.
the film paints a disturbingly realistic picture of where society is at the moment whether its depictions find favor or not.
what is clear is that its game-changing take on modern culture may become an example for other pictures to expand on.

look closely at ... the lines she delivers.
---------------------------
My favorite line from the scene is after he calls her a bitch and is leaving she tells him that
"The architect of his soul is SOCIAL MEDIA,".
And that remark is made due to the way that he claims Bach isn't worth his time to study, due to the way he considers him to be what he calls a "White, Male, Cis Composer," which he sees as being at odds with what he describes as being his "BIPOC Pangender" identity.
At which point she says "NARCISISSM of small differences leads to boring conformity" and to what she sees as being his "ULTRASONIC EPISTEMIC DISSENT."
So bascially this guy wants to be a composer or conductor and refuses to explore the work of another great composer due to the way that he's produced 20 kids (back during a time before birth control or the option of abortion was available)???
And then he calls the woman a BITCH who attempts to teach him why the work of Bach IS worth exploring (no matter how many offspring he produced)???
The scene definitely reminds one of the kinds of situations that one encounters here at MC ... where one also gets the feeling that "The ARCHITECT of the SOUL" of others that one engages with is also "SOCIAL MEDIA."
