Review of A Late Quartet (2012) by Ben B — 31 Jul 2014
If there is a decent movie about the love of music, I am on board. Unfortunately, 'A Late Quartet' instead focuses on melodrama which sometimes across as badly acted. The cast is full of talented players, with only Christopher Walken standing out as the leader of a world-renowned string quartet.
His ability to show his wisdom but also pain in his personal circumstances is great. Even Phillip Seymour Hoffman is not able to play a redeemable character with the wishy-washy script by Seth Grossman and Zaron Zilberman.
The music is featured enough to the point where you will not completely dislike 'A Late Quartet,' but there's ultimately too much bad drama to completely redeem itself.
