  3. 'Quartet': Dustin Hoffman's directing debut has sterling cast, so-so script ★★ 1/2

    Murder most foul is one thing. Murder most fair is another. The veteran hambones starring in "Quartet" get away with murder most fair, through eye-bugging delight in a double-entendre in close-up (Billy Connolly); charmingly distracted line readings (Pauline Collins); underplaying so dry it becomes a form of overstatement (Tom Courtenay); and an air of unconquerable hauteur, leavened by tinges of regret (Maggie Smith).

  4. 'Quartet' review: The perfectly fine musicians' hotel
