I saw the movie too....enjoyed it, but like Jim Dixon, was disappointed that they didn't sing at the end.   And Dustin Hoffman probably could learn a thing or two about pacing. But the performances were great! (I didn't see anyone texting at the cinema where I saw it).

But this thread reminded me of another movie that came out around the same time, called "A Late Quartet"---about a string quartet. It was absolutely exquisite. An inspired performance by Christopher Walken. Also great were Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, and Mark Ivanier.

Did any of you see it?
