Watch Quartet Movie Online No Survey 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 Release Date Quartet Jan 11, 2013 Limited

Review For Quartet
The first thing to note is that Hoffman has apparently had a grand time working with these professionals, all of whom as residents of the home are splendid. Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic "Quartet" is one of those movies that looks so effortless, it's easy to forget just how much could have gone wrong. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post '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. Tom Long-Detroit News Hoffman, in his directorial debut, has crafted a hopeful movie with a warm atmosphere, but one that's realistic, too. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle The premise may sound insufferable, but this light comedy about a nursing home for retired classical musicians isn't half-bad. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader Whatever his imprint on the film might be, it's overshadowed by the performances of its stellar, veteran cast, to whom Hoffman wisely gives ample rein. Kristin Tillotson-Minneapolis Star Tribune Unfolds with a respectable, well-heeled polish, seeming to believe that its admittedly wonderful cast lends it an automatic sophistication which inoculates it against charges of tedium. Brent Simon-Shockya.com At 75, Dustin Hoffman makes his directorial debut with 'Quartet' and demonstrates some real promise if the acting thing doesn't work out. Dan Lybarger-KC Active Plays nice -- too nice Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit Though sweet of demeanor, Dustin Hoffman's directoral debut is purely lightweight stuff, built around a flimsy plot and obvious choices every step of the way. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune "Quartet" asks the musical question, "Is there such a thing as too much Maggie Smith?" and answers it with a resounding "No." Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel The film is quiet and personal, as are others based on Harwood's work ("The Dresser," "Taking Sides") and that trait is enforced by Hoffman's straightforward and unforced direction. Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes Unlike the devastating portrait of aging in Michael Haneke's Amour, Quartet favors cheeky over honest. Matt Pais-RedEye While 'Quartet' seems to be part of a double feature with 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,' it does lack 'Exotic's' breadth of characterizations and humor. Steve Crum-Video-Reviewmaster.com 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 seems unlikely to break out with those who don't know Downton Abbey from Howards End. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing Charming, funny, and sentimental, the film is exactly what you expect it to be, but very satisfying in achieving that goal. Louis Black-Austin Chronicle '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 dealing with some of the unpleasant realities of growing older. Mathew DeKinder-St. Louis Post-Dispatch Coasts on the charm of its performers, the gloss of the visuals (the cinematography by John de Borman keeps us alert to Hedsor House's loveliness) and the genteel fantasy of its oh-so-civilized setting. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) This ensemble is a lively fun bunch that warrants several curtain calls. Jeffrey Lyles-Lyles' Movie Files Hoffman and Harwood aren't afraid to show us old people who are rude, demanding, unreasonable and foolish, though the final overall mood remains blissful. Lawrence Toppman-Charlotte Observer
