A Late Quartet Movie Synopsis
After a classical string quartet's 25 years of success, Peter, the cellist and oldest member, decides that he must retire when he learns he has Parkinson's Disease. For the others, that announcement proves a catalyst for letting their hidden resentments come to the surface while the married members' daughter has disruptive desires of her own. All this threatens to tear the group apart even as they are famous for playing Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14, opus 131, a piece that is played non-stop no matter how life interferes.

Review For A Late Quartet
The screenplay by Seth Grossman and Israeli-American director Yaron Zilberman is old-fashioned and melodramatic but stirring in its portrait of people struggling with individual egos to produce something nobler than themselves. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail [It] may not sound like a scintillatingly good time at the movies, but actually it is. Bruce Demara-Toronto Star The outstanding ensemble cast keeps the story - and its accompanying emotional heft - from becoming overly baroque. Claudia Puig-USA Today Yes, A Late Quartet is disappointing. But it's also pretty bad. James Berardinelli-ReelViews For a film that relies so heavily on the lasting power of a classical master, A Late Quartet never really converts any viewers to his church. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald Engaging, intelligent, but direction doesn't quite live up to a first-rate cast. John Anderson-Newsday Helped along by a smart script and spot-on performances, it builds toward a nicely crafted emotional crescendo, and one that delivers with it a rich and satisfying payoff. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune These mature actors never strike a dissonant note. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate While classical music sometimes seems to exist in a bubble protected from the real world, the people who play it struggle with the same issues everyone else does. Dan Lybarger-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette A first-rate cast makes some beautiful music in this otherwise shallow and contrived melodrama. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Great cast does its best to elevate A Late Quartet Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit The passion of Beethoven's final major compositions fails to heat up this tepid soap opera. John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Any artist who has worked as part of a group is sure to find a certain resonance in the offstage tussles of A Late Quartet, but there's too little going on here to sustain other viewers. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle The melodrama among the main characters is more soap opera than grand opera, even with a quartet of actors as fine as this. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune Despite too stately a pace at times, and some fairly predictable plot resolutions, the film succeeds thanks to empathetic performances (from Walken and especially Hoffman) and an evident affection for the music and musicians it depicts. Marc Mohan-Oregonian
