Todd Field

The Profile

Todd Field is an American film director, screenwriter and actor, known for directing In the Bedroom (2001), Little Children (2006) and Tár (2022).

Tár (2022) received significant critical attention and award nominations; Field is chiefly known for literary, psychologically driven dramas.

One DeBaser review (Confaloni) treats Todd Field's Tár as a demanding, often wordy drama anchored by Cate Blanchett's performance. The reviewer praises Blanchett while noting issues with the film's length and the second half's descent into hallucinations and moral reckoning. Themes include orchestral labor, power, manipulation, and consequences.
