"Quartet" - a small story with huge heart

When a famous actor decides to direct his first movie, one just thinks - it's all been here before. You've seen such attempts before. Alas, there are a few actor-turned-director cases, like Clint Eastwood or Mel Gibson, where the mix really works. Or worked at least. One of the actors that recently decided to make a movie on his own is Dustin Hoffman and it's a rather late debut, one might say. Hoffman is 75, probably as old as his protagonists and it makes this even more truthful to the story.
