Quartet (2012)
Directed by Dustin
Hoffman this film based on the play of the same name stars Maggie
Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins and Michael
Gambon. An old people's home for retired musicians is putting on a
gala event to raise money to save the home.
I found this film to
be just too gentle and predictable, stumbling through the barest of
gentle prodding at it's characters on the way to an inevitable
conclusion. Given all the talent involved here I found this film to
be a real disappointment. Michael Gambon is about the only good thing
in this film and sadly he is relegated to a side part.
2/5
