For the Love of Film...

Welcome to my review website. I love movies, and here’s the place I talk about them. You’ll find my ratings, on a scale of zero to five stars, in all of my posts. For each film, I’ve written either a full critique, which is a longer piece; a compact review, which is usually just a paragraph; or a quick take, which is only a sentence or two. I also post articles about the world of cinema on my film blog.

In the Comments section on each page, feel free to share your own thoughts and feelings about the films discussed here.

Lights! Camera! Action!

Quartet (2012)

Quartet (2012)

David R. George III
Quick Takes

Charming film about aging musicians in a beautiful retirement estate in the English countryside. The quartet of lead actors—Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly, and Pauline Collins—shine in their roles, breathing life into a slight but delightful script. Dustin Hoffman provides sure-handed direction.
