fresh:
The film's scant plot plays second fiddle to Hoffman and Harwood's nuanced exploration of love so long unrequited.

Dustin Hoffman's directing debut about retired musicians in the third act of their lives has a winning, classy charm for older audiences.

The first thing to note is that Hoffman has apparently had a grand time working with these professionals, all of whom as residents of the home are splendid.

"Quartet" is one of those movies that looks so effortless, it's easy to forget just how much could have gone wrong.

'Quartet" is a lovely little charm bracelet of a film, a fairy tale for the geriatric set blessed with a wonderful cast and a carry-on attitude.
