I saw this at the Dublin International Film Festival. Wish it would get distribution in The Netherlands, because I really want to see it again. It’s my favourite thing Whedon’s done since Firefly. With bonus Clark Gregg.

A Late Quartet (2012)
I have decided I want to see every movie Philip Seymour Hoffman is in. That’s not too difficult a task, I’ve already seen 19 of them. This is the latest, about the members of a celebrated string quartet who fall into disarray. Tensions rise when their cellist, and oldest member of the quartet, is forced to retire due to the onset of Parkinson’s disease. Great performances by all the actors.
