Review of Quartet (2012) by Millo T — 09 Feb 2014

Predictable, completely unrealistic drama of a musicans retirement home. All the leads are their usual wonderful selves, but the story is silly, the dialogue trite, and I couldn't escape what felt like a movie made by people who essentially know nothing about the world of classical music.

Every preconception of the Hollywood crowd is here in abundance. You never leave the entertainment-world bubble for a moment. Smith, Courtenay, Collins, & Gambon deserve much better vehicles.
