Beecham House is abuzz. The rumor circling the halls is that the home for retired musicians is soon to play host to a new resident. Word is, it's a star. For Reginald Paget (Tom Courtenay), Wilfred Bond (Billy Connolly) and Cecily Robson (Pauline Collins) this sort of talk is par for the course at the gossipy home. But they're in for a special shock when the new arrival turns out to be none other than their former singing partner, Jean Horton (Maggie Smith). Her subsequent career as a star soloist, and the ego that accompanied it, split up their long friendship and ended her marriage to Reggie, who takes the news of her arrival particularly hard. Can the passage of time heal old wounds? And will the famous quartet be able to patch up their differences in time for Beecham House's gala concert? -- (C) Weinstein

Review For Quartet

The characters in Quartet may be on their way out, but they aren't giving up without a fight.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor

A mild but perfectly pleasant entertainment from playwright Ronald Harwood and Dustin Hoffman, staying offscreen here to make his directing debut.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger

'Quartet" isn't a penetrating inquiry into aging. Who wants that? We all know the facts, so let's not begrudge some fancy.
Kyle Smith-New York Post

This is a lovely film directed with delicacy and taste, profoundly alive to the rhythms of its actors and characters, which gives its superlative British cast of stage and screen legends the time and space they deserve.
Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com

Mr. Hoffman's direction is impeccable, John de Borman's camera bathes the story in warm radiance, and the end credits are not to be missed, since they reveal who's really who in the supporting cast.
Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal

A sincere but sloppy piece of work.
A.O. Scott-New York Times

No movie starring these actors could possibly be all that bad. But Quartet is tepid when it wants to be sophisticated, a slow-moving, middlebrow endeavor.
Robert Levin-amNewYork

...the film is as easy to take as a freshly baked scone with Devonshire cream.
Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks

Charming, but entirely predictable.
Julian Roman-MovieWeb

Charming comedy about elderly opera singers is fine for teens.
Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media

Quartet is ultimately too thinly conceived, lacking a compelling dramatic throughline.
Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity

A genial bore, full of underplayed drama and mildly frisky comedy.
Scott Tobias-AV Club

Like many actors-turned-filmmakers, first-time director Dustin Hoffman (yes, that Dustin Hoffman) indulges his performers above all else ...
Keith Uhlich-Time Out New York

Charming. A much happier take on old-age than AMOUR.
Chris Bumbray-JoBlo's Movie Emporium

The carriage trade will line up for debut helmer Dustin Hoffman's endearing treatise on aging and music, which is far more delicate than The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
David Noh-Film Journal International
