Attention Prime Video subscribers! You have just seven days to catch the critically acclaimed British drama Quartet, starring the legendary Maggie Smith and Sheridan Smith. This 2012 film, directed by Dustin Hoffman, is an adaptation of Ronald Harwood's West End play and follows the residents of Beecham House, a retirement home for former professional musicians and opera singers. The film's impressive cast also includes Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly, and Pauline Collins.
Paste Magazine praised Quartet for its brilliance and lovingly composed score, stating that you'll be "longing for an encore." But don't delay, as it will be removed from Prime Video on January 30th. If you miss it or aren't a subscriber, don't worry! You can still watch it on Sky Cinema and NOW (with a Cinema membership), with no confirmed removal date from those services.
Digital Spy described Quartet as a "cosy comfort blanket of a film" with "stand-out performances," especially from Maggie Smith and Billy Connolly. Sheridan Smith, who acted alongside her "acting royalty" colleagues, recalled the set feeling "really spontaneous and magical," with the cast often jamming when the cameras weren't rolling. The film's genuine outtakes and laughter added to its charm.
As a bonus, if you're a fan of music icons, don't miss the new edition of Living Legends, celebrating Dolly Parton. You can purchase the magazine, priced at just £8.99, from newsagents or online. Whether you're a fan of period dramas, horror films, or simply great storytelling, Quartet is a must-watch. Don't miss your chance to see it!
