Storyline
After a classical string quartet's 25 years of success, Peter, the cellist and oldest member, decides that he must retire when he learns he has Parkinson's Disease. For the others, that announcement proves a catalyst for letting their hidden resentments come to the surface while the married members' daughter has disruptive desires of her own. All this threatens to tear the group apart even as they are famous for playing Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14, opus 131, a piece that is played non-stop no matter how life interferes.

Trivia
The concert scene in the film is played at the Grace Rainey Hall at the Metropolitan Museum - the same stage where the legendary Guarneri String Quartet played their farewell concert after 45 years of playing together. See more »Goofs
In the final concert scene, when Peter is unable to continue, he lays his cello on its side next to his chair and comes forward to address the audience. During the course of his remarks, he introduces his replacement cellist, Nina, who is seen in the background taking Peter's seat with her own instrument. When the quartet resumes playing the piece, Peter's cello has vanished, even though the scene is presented as a single take and neither Peter nor a stage hand is shown removing the instrument.

I watched this movie out of appreciation for Hoffman. So glad I did. Independent films such as this one have really begin to open my eyes to another world of cinema.
It's always great to see new faces and uncover some true talent, like Mark Ivanir. I only saw him in the Good Shepherd, but this performance will remain with me for some time. He seemed very attached to his role.
I recommend this movie to anyone who has a growing interest in classical music. It definitely furthered my interest. Listening to Chopin as I write this. :)
Be warned, the plot seemed slow and at is some times difficult to relate to. However, still a very good movie to open your mind to.
