Comedy. Drama Cecily, Reggie and Wilfred are in a home for retired opera singers. Every year, on October 10, there is a concert to celebrate Verdi's birthday and they take part. Jean, who used to be married to Reggie, arrives at the home and disrupts their equilibrium. She still acts like a diva, but she refuses to sing. Still, the show must go on... and it does.

		Louise Keller Urbancinefile	"I smiled throughout this funny, stirring and uplifting film in which talents, egos and temperaments dance in time with the music"
		Andrew L. Urban Urbancinefile	"The humour is wry, the drama is intimate and the rhythm of the editing carries us through to a satisfying ending"
		Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"'Quartet' is very much a performance piece, which plays to Hoffman's strength - as an actor he knows when to allow this excellent ensemble breathing room and when to tighten the belt"
		Mary F. Pols Time	"Terribly cloying and cutesy"
