» Tár is set in the contemporary world of Western classical music and centres on Lydia Tár, one of the world's most prolific composer-conductors and first ever female music director of a major German orchestra. While the film has the look and feel of a biopic, Lydia Tár is a fictional character. As portrayed here by Cate Blanchett, she's at the absolute height of her career and there seems to be no limit to what she's able to achieve. She's smart, talented, passionate about music and is ready to take her career to new heights. We see her as she goes about preparing to release her book titled Tár On Tár, as well as conduct a concert in which she tackles Mahler's most complex musical piece, the Fifth Symphony.

» I guess it's that time when Disney thinks traditional glass slippers are not cool for the young generation, but sneakers surely are. From the title of Disney's new musical romantic comedy, Sneakerella, you can tell it has something to do with Cinderella. Yes, it's based on the classic, but it's a new, modernised version. They gender-swap the characters and then dive into sneakerhead culture and dance music. Whether this sounds like a weird combination, well, such a movie now exists.

» Besides social media and smartphones, dating apps have also become part of modern life. The trend of swiping left or right has made it easy to meet people from diverse social backgrounds. However, just like in real life, where good-looking people are most likely to benefit from the technology, it also has the potential to damage users' self-esteem if they cannot handle rejection. So, people tweak their profiles to draw more attention to themselves. Director Hernan Jimenez took this idea and mixed it with the message of being true to yourself and finding your worth as the plot of his new romantic comedy Love Hard.
