Notes on a Scandal, 2006

Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett nail this one.  Notes on a Scandal centers around a scandal, a teacher and a student, an inappropriate affair.  That isn’t the real story.  The affair is a backdrop.

The real story is about Barbara Covett and her desire for a companion.  We glimpse Sheba Hart through Barbara’s eyes and warped sense of reality.

This film is rather well written.  I am not sure it is for everyone, but if you like the movies I like then Notes on a Scandal is a must see.

5/5 stars based on how well written the film is and the amazing acting of not only the stars, but also the twists and turns.
