When the beloved cellist of a world-renowned string quartet is diagnosed with a life threatening illness, the group's future suddenly hangs in the balance as suppressed emotions, competing egos and uncontrollable passions threaten to derail years of friendship and collaboration. As they are about to play their 25th anniversary concert — quite possibly their last — only their intimate bond and the power of music can preserve their legacy.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The outstanding ensemble cast keeps the story - and its accompanying emotional heft - from becoming overly baroque.

[It] may not sound like a scintillatingly good time at the movies, but actually it is.

fresh:
The screenplay by Seth Grossman and Israeli-American director Yaron Zilberman is old-fashioned and melodramatic but stirring in its portrait of people struggling with individual egos to produce something nobler than themselves.

fresh:
The result is a perfectly serviceable, well acted melodrama - but why so serious?
