    Interesting ingredients don't add up to a compelling stew
    For me, this is a rather curiously stitched documentary.

    Is it about the Australian String Quartet? The dysfunctional relationship between four musicians and their Board? Is it about one woman's obsession with assembling a quartet of Guadagninis rather than a quartet of musicians? Or is it about making instruments? This film is about ~all~ of these things and, as a consequence, stumbles off track.

    The film left me wondering why lengthy stretches were there at all. Minus the diversions about a group of highly annoying Stradophiles in New York and a few other meaningless tangents, I suppose this could be a compelling tale.
