The strength of the writing, and therefore the directing, is that it sees the scandal as a minor point in a human experience that is naturally corrupt, and cares more about how those on the inside choose to deal with their realities.August 28, 2009
Stages the story with a tastefulness both ponderous and dishonestFebruary 03, 2007
Richard Eyre's direction merely plays up the melodramatic aspects of Zoƫ Heller's novel, screenwriter Patrick Marber's acidic dialogue occasionally slips into the overwritten, and the rest of the cast gamely chews table scraps.August 07, 2008
Eyre paces it with an eye for the telling detail, and Blanchett and Dench give harrowing, fearless performances.January 12, 2007
This compact, fierce and frightening domestic thriller is the most violent film in many a day. The rage is in the angry words, the deepest thoughts of its 'heroine,' and the fear about what might come from those words is palpable.February 09, 2007
Blanchett has also recently appeared in The Good German and Babel, but this represents far and away her best work.January 11, 2007
While Glenn Close played her Fatal Attraction character's 'I will not be ignored' psycho-obsession out front and out loud, Dench does it as subtext, making it all the more insidious, frightening ... and fascinating.January 25, 2007
Bill Nighy is stunning in the small but pivotal role of Sheba's devastated husband, and Dench locates the desperate pathos in Barbara's malevolence.November 07, 2012
Lurid melodrama lifted by corrosive writing and a frightening performance from the Dame.February 28, 2008
Notes on a Scandal is melodrama at its best -- a nasty, wickedly good, over-the-top story with school teachers standing in where vampires usually prowl.May 15, 2009
Smart and brash, it's a picture Bette Davis and Joan Crawford would have killed (preferably each other) to be in.April 23, 2009
British cinema fans shouldn't miss this one.
