Because we usually only review G, PG, and PG-13 movies at Parent Previews we did not review this title. For your convenience, we have provided some brief information about the film’s synopsis and content.

Synopsis: Highbrow music may be complicated, but not nearly as much as the lives of four musicians that play in a string quartet. As they face illness, infidelity and pride, their music and lives become increasingly out of tune.

This additional information about the movie’s content is taken from the notes of various Canadian Film Classification boards:

Violence:

- Two scenes of violence depicting fighting.

Sexual Content:

- Portrayal of sexual activity includes buttocks and breast nudity , as well as some detail.

- Two instances of sexual language.

Language:

- Frequent use of the sexual expletive, sometimes in a sexual context.

- Frequent use of scatological slang; infrequent use of profanity.

The pressures faced by performers are also presented in the following films: Beyond the Sea, Dreamgirls and Walk the Line.

This movie should not be confused with another film also releasing in winter 2012, Quartet.
