Rating: 4/4 --
These are familiar themes: aging, jealousy, regret, repentance. But the dialogue is sprightly, and so are the performers.

Dustin Hoffman, a 75-year-old first-time feature director better known as a great old acting pro, conducts at a pleasant tempo. -- Grade: B

Rating: 3/5 --
Dustin Hoffman makes his directorial debut - at the impressive age of 75 - with this very English slice of life.

The National (UAE)
Rating: 3/4 --
The movie, like the play it's based on, is more about reminding audiences that talented people are often still talented in their later years. It's safe to say that Quartet will be the feel-good movie of the year-for anyone over 65.

The first thing to note is that Hoffman has apparently had a grand time working with these professionals, all of whom as residents of the home are splendid.

Rating: 1/5 --
As portraits of old age go, Quartet is better than that other recent retirement comedy The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, but only in the way a touch of lumbago is better than shingles.

Independent (UK)
3 stars out of 4 -- Hoffman uses all he's learned as a virtuoso actor to shape a film of flesh-and-blood characters, flushed with humor and tenderness.
