Review of Quartet (2012)

By Rafer Guzman (1,080) for Newsday (2,345) on 24 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Jon Niccum (520) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 24 Jan 2013

While the movie touches on issues of aging and self-worth, it's really an excuse to gather some elite British actors and indulge in a musical…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 24 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 24 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 24 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 24 Jan 2013

Quartet is endearing, sometimes even irresistible…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 24 Jan 2013

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 22 Jan 2013

[S]o genuine and heartfelt that it transcends its own stereotypes and clichés to become something quite lovely…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Betty Jo Tucker (725) for ReelTalk Movie Reviews (1,771) on 19 Jan 2013

At a time when big screens reek with violence, explosions, and torture, it's refreshing to see 'Quartet' deliver a message about the value…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Kelly Vance (1,015) for East Bay Express (1,012) on 18 Jan 2013

Essentially Masterpiece Theatre comfort food, a chance to watch fine actors act without too many complications…

Review of Quartet (2012)

Quartet is a bit shameless in its approach, but for those who enjoy a whimsical drama that includes scenery chewing from grand dames and hammy…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue (704) on 14 Jan 2013

It's a modest crowd-pleaser with a sterling cast of British veterans that celebrates performers past and present…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 11 Jan 2013

What gives the movie its poignancy – what turns it into something more than a polite entertainment – is Smith's role…

Review of Quartet (2012)

By Robert Levin (797) for amNewYork (559) on 11 Jan 2013

No movie starring these actors could possibly be all that bad…
