Every Philip Seymour Hoffman Movie Ranked Worst To Best
18. Robert Gelbart - A Late Quartet (2012)
After learning that their cellist (Christopher Walken) has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, the rest of his string quartet (Hoffman, Mark Ivanir, Catherine Keener) are forced to re-evaluate their personal and professional relationships.
A criminally underseen drama that utilises its lead cast perfectly, A Late Quartet benefits from two powerhouse performances from Walken and Hoffman, who plays the group's ambitious violinist.
At once a searing fiery family drama and a tale of musical passion, it's a slow-burning masterclass of atmosphere and tension that hits all the right notes.
