Both Ken and I loved it. It is funny and touching, but moves along quickly so it is never boring. Dave and Irene gave us the DVD for Christmas, or when they just visited us, but it took us until now to take the time to watch the movie without distractions. Dustin Hoffman was the Director. The movie is entertaining but in addition, there are many aspects of the aging process that are hilarious.
I was reminded of Updike's book "The Poorhouse Fair", but not as serious, but under the surface, all the old folks are doing the best they can as they get through their "golden years". The other part of the movie that I thought interesting is that the musicians/residents were all playing themselves, except the leads.
It seems most everyone has seen Quartet, except us, until now. We seem to live in a different world, but now, thanks to Irene, we have enjoyed this wonderful life affirming movie. Everyone who has any interest in the aging process would enjoy Quartet.
