Quartet, the new movie by Dustin Hoffman, should not be confused by last year's movie, "The Late Quartet". While they share some similarities, they are very different. In "The Late Quartet, a string quartet performs one more time before splitting up. In "Quartet" a once renown opera quartet is reunited in a retirement home for musicians in England. It is "Late Quartet meets Marigold Hotel" and it is great. Those of you that watch "Downton Abbey" knows that Maggie Smith can steal any story. Dustin Hoffman does a great job directing.
This is a story about aging without giving up on life. It is both real and enjoyable. While it centers on Opera and even though you might not think you like opera, you will be drawn in. One of the scenes show one of the singers explaining to a group of young kids how opera and rap are similar.
Warning this is a PG50 movie. (Note: the movie is PG13 because the F-word is used twice, but because old people say it, they let it slide.
I give this movie ***stars. 2013 Movie#10
