I really loved it but it was a little jarring to hear these a-list classical musicians repeatedly refer to Mahler's fifth symphony as "the Mahler fifth." Nobody does that.
I was also weird to run into people who thought Lydia Tár was a real person.
One of my friends thought it was an indictment of cancel culture, when cancel culture was more like the instrument of character determined fate.
