Just returned from seeing "The Quartet" at the Rialto.

I recommend this movie to anyone who is aging!

An excellent movie about four retired opera singers who live in a home for the elderly, a retirement home for musicians and opera singers.

Dustin Hoffman created a wonderful film that left one sitting in their seat, begging for an encore.

If you happen to go see it, do not leave before the credits roll. I repeat...do not leave before the credits roll. You will be pleasantly surprised.

I think I will pass. Seeing enough of that now in TV

Although The Villages is wonderful, if there were really a retirement place nearby (or even in the U.S.) like "The Quartet", I'd be there in a heartbeat!

I'm with you Quirky! I saw the movie last week - totally enjoyed it!

[Heartnsoul]

although the movie was a bit slow, I have to say I did enjoy it also. Especially if you like opera or were ever a musician!! Nice movie, no violence.

I finally had a chance to see this "on-demand" - what a great movie. And I cried all the way through the credits at the end, where they show each cast member, along with a picture of them in the prime of their musical careers.

Quite a fun movie.

I was disappointed in the movie. It was okay but not really a comedy.

The credits were interesting.

I just saw the movie on DVD borrowed from the Belvedere Library. I enjoyed it and had the benefit of listening to Dustin Hoffman explain a lot about the movie. The movie was very unique in that the cast consisted of retired opera singers and retired musicians. And the woman who played the part of a doctor was actually a doctor. It was not your typical movie.

I also enjoyed this movie a great deal. I was not aware that the actress playing the doctor was actually a doctor. The Lake County Library System has a lot of current DVDs too but high demand ones-- any with 3 or more holds on them-- only go out for three days. It is still only 10 cents a day for overdue DVDs.
