Review of Quartet (2012)

By Steve Crum (868) for Video-Reviewmaster.com (514) on 25 Jan 2013

While 'Quartet' seems to be part of a double feature with 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,' it does lack 'Exotic's' breadth of characterizations…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 25 Jan 2013

Of course, let's take care not to oversell this piece, which is the sort of genteel art-house offering that will thrill older audiences but…

By Mathew Dekinder (396) for Suburban Journals of St. Louis (395) on 25 Jan 2013

Quartet' is one of the best movies you'll ever see about old age and while it does wind up as a celebration of life it doesn't flinch when…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 25 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 25 Jan 2013

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…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Lawrence Toppman (1,654) for Charlotte Observer (1,670) on 24 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Louis Black (103) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 24 Jan 2013

Charming, funny, and sentimental, the film is exactly what you expect it to be, but very satisfying in achieving that goal…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 24 Jan 2013

By Roger Ebert (5,190) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 24 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Kristin Tillotson (85) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 24 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)
