Quartet (2012)

Based on 8 critic reviews provided by

70	Los Angeles Times Betsy Sharkey Quartet is very much a performance piece, which plays to Hoffman's strength - as an actor he knows when to allow this excellent ensemble breathing room and when to tighten the belt.
70	NPR Ella Taylor Personally, I'd show up for Maggie Smith's top-drawer basilisk stare if she were guesting on "Sesame Street."
60	The Guardian Hoffman has delivered a love letter to the elderly thesps of his adoptive country. We can forgive him its falsehoods.
60	Total Film Neil Smith As cozy as a mug of Horlicks inside an electric blanket, Hoffman's film couldn't offend if it tried. Age, however, has yet to wither its veterans' undimmed star appeal.
60	Empire Anna Smith A frothy and often charming directorial effort from Hoffman, his first in a Hollywood career that's spanned five decades, that will keep Downton fans happy.
50	Village Voice Melissa Anderson Sentimental and pandering.
50	The Playlist Oliver Lyttelton Quartet is a hard film to dislike entirely, thanks principally to the charms of its cast.
38	Slant Magazine For a movie that aims to make four artists' last spotlit hurrah a revel-worthy moment, Quartet shouldn't urge the viewer to welcome the closing of the curtain.
