And related: Why do filmmakers almost never, make actors learn how to mimic
the playing correctly? The most blatant recent example is "A late quartet"
(2012), which is irritating in the extreme for a musician to watch! When
will Hollywood acknowledge, that a huge part of viewers are actually able to
play an instrument? Ridiculous!

Here's the full IMDB entry - Unfortunately nothing much about the music
or musicians there:

It's strange how musicians are seldom if ever credited in these things.
Music also seems to be the poor cousin when it comes to historical
accuracy in some programmes. I have been watching some episodes of the
new series "The Musketeers" - the dialogue is dreadful, but the sets,
costumes and weapons seem to be spot-on for around 1630. Huge care has
gone into what Richelieu wears and Louis XIII and Anne of Austria bear
more than a passing resemblance to the people they represent. THEN in
episode 3, Athos is in the boudoir of Milady de Winter and guess what?
There's a 'lute' on the table. Except it's a modern mandolin with
machine heads for goodness sake! Would they have substituted a
flintlock pistol for a wheel lock one? Of course not. But if it's a
musical instrument - What the hell, nodbody'll notice.
OK I'm a nerd, but . . .
