A Late Quartet

Catherine Keener, Christopher Walken, Philip S. Hoffman

A gem. Classical music group comes undone when after twenty years of performing together one of the members develops parkinson's. The crisis brings out resentments, quarrels, breeds lust, recriminations...all the nasty bits of group dynamics kept submerged too long.

The cast was superb...without exception. Direction, script, cine all first rate. The arc of the story drew us in, enmeshed us in their muddle and lifted us at the end...with the kind of sad knowing real life brings.

Good stuff.
