Review of Quintet

Quintet (1979)
1/10
Wow, I never expected to see Paul Newman star in a film like this.

Unreal that a film could rival Paranormal Activity for inducing yawns, but Quintet pulls out the stops. It's not only as boring as PA, but it tries to make points that are so vague they are meaningless to anyone able to stay awake through the entire film looking for some substance.

Problems:

First, that annoying filter! REALLY, this blur filter, as if the entire film is a dream sequence.

Next, the music. It seems so out of place trying to make you think something is happening, while nothing is. Almost like the conductor had the band playing for another movie.

Plot! Where was this thing going?

I'm sure there might be fans of Altman or Newman who might like this just because, but if you're neither, this is a brutal and boring experience. Excruciating for someone hoping to see interesting sci-fi and a glimpse of someone's idea of the future.
