I've been delaying seeing this film, mostly I think because seeing a wife cheat on a family with a 15 year old boy, and then get blackmailed by a crazy old witch didnt seem like a fun night at the movies, a bit too MUCH drama if you know what I mean, but the performances were so riveting it just drew me in and I kept watching and was stunned by how well the film flowed. So many mind-blowing lines... read more

“"I hadn't been pursued like this for years... I knew it was wrong, and immoral, and completely ridiculous, but, I don't know. I just allowed it to happen."

Based on Zoe Heller's novel What Was She Thinking?, 2006's Notes on a Scandal is a drama-thriller in the mould of films like Fatal Attraction and Single White Female. It's a movie which burrows into the human psyche in order to explore the deepest, darkest recesses of obsession and loneliness. On top of this, Notes on a Scandal is very much an acting main event which brings together two of the greatest actresses of this generation - Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett - and pits them against one another. Suffice it to say, the resulting flick is sublimely engaging.

" It struck be as a bit odd that an illicit, ongoing sexual relationship between a 15 year-old boy and an art teacher (Blanchett) manages to get brushed away like a minor sub-plot by the final act of the film. How does that even happen? Well for one thing you damn well better have some compelling revelations to take it's place. Luckily that's true here. Less fortunate though is that these developments are a bit more transparent and ultimately less satisfying than one might hope. It's the kind o"
