Classical music is no different than anything else in the world of humans. I haven’t seen the movie Tar, but I will as from what I understand it asks a lot of questions.

Movies tend to portray classical music in a way which is not very authentic, for commercial reasons. So I can’t really recommend any media as such. Best thing you can do is go to a live performance. Like our Puccini double bill here in San Diego!
