Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertA Late Quartet does one of the most interesting things any film can do. It shows how skilled professionals work.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Jordan MintzerThe film mines both the relationship issues and the Upper East Side neighborhoods of Woody Allen's best work, but could use an added dose of the Woodster's jokes to spruce up a self-serious scenario that hits the right notes about half the time.
Variety - 9/10 by Justin ChangCentered around four outstanding performances, Yaron Zilberman's fiction-feature debut feels like the work of a filmmaker who knows and appreciates the art form under scrutiny, laying a credible foundation for a story that lays bare the often melodramatic passions of the artistic soul.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 9/10 by David EdelsteinI was happy watching these actors, happy going behind the scenes of a sober classical music ensemble instead of another druggy rock group, happy hearing Beethoven for a couple of hours. The movie is haut-bourgeois to the bone, but so am I: Let's hear some chamber music and have a little laugh and a cry!
New York Post - 9/10 by Lou LumenickWalken was largely typecast in quirky roles as a result of playing the title character's brother in "Annie Hall," so it's something of a delightful irony that 35 years later, Walken finds his most rewarding role leading a terrific ensemble in what amounts to one of the best Woody Allen movies that Allen wasn't involved in making.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Bruce Demara[It] may not sound like a scintillatingly good time at the movies, but actually it is.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura Clifford...a soap opera gussied up with a high brow setting and high caliber actors that has the good grace to go out on a particularly effective note.
Newark Star-Ledger - 9/10 by Stephen WhittyUnless you're channeling the forgiving spirit of Casals, I'm afraid this one hits too many off notes to recommend.
Spirituality and Practice - 9/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA very special and memorable movie with top drawer acting, great classical music, and a theme of spiritual transformation.
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfA powerful feature, outstandingly acted and pleasingly measured, employing a sense of refinement to better emphasize the numerous violations and disappointments that litter the story.
