Editorial Review:
Product Description:
A POTTERY TEACHER ENTERS INTO AN AFFAIR WITH ONE OF HER STUDENTS, CAUSING UPHEAVAL IN HER PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL LIVES.
Amazon.com:
Gold stars to all for this taut psychological thriller based on Zoe Heller's novel that that gets more insidiously twisted as it unfolds. Oscar-nominated for her chilling performance, Dame Judi Dench gives a master class as schoolteacher Barbara Covett, a frumpy, friendless, and flinty spinster who lives with her cat. A formidable presence, Barbara is standoffish with colleagues and not one for students to trifle with (not that they'd dare). Cate Blanchett, also an Oscar nominee and winner of several critics society awards for her impassioned performance, costars as Sheba Hart, the new, overwhelmed art teacher who first becomes enthrall to Barbara after she steps in to help Sheba discipline unruly students. Barbara cultivates a friendship, and insinuates herself into Sheba's chaotic life, which includes her older husband (Bill Nighy), teenage daughter, and a son with Down's syndrome. Then, Barbara catches the reckless Sheba in a compromising position with a 15-year-old student (Andrew Simpson). Seizing her opportunity, the calculating Barbara does not turn her in. Rather, she wants to "help" her. "She's the one I've been waiting for," she writes in the journals she meticulously keeps, and which provide, in voiceover, her corrosive commentary. This all sounds very Fatal Attraction, but no boiling rabbits, please; we're British. Philip Glass's Oscar-nominated score accentuates the growing menace. Though there is little in these characters to admire, (one would think GLAAD would have something to say about the predatory turn Barbara's character takes), Notes on a Scandal is a compelling tour-de-force for its Grade-A cast. --Donald Liebenson

Great pairing of these two fine actresses. The subject matter is disturbing; however, look beyond that and you have a film of great acting. Will add this to my collection.

Barbara (Judi Dench), a strict, prissy, judgmental, lonely middle-aged teacher in a London high school, is a wicked spider spinning her web to ensnare the very sensuous Sheba (Cate Blanchett), a new young teacher at the school. Sheba is married to an older man, played by Bill Nighy, but she lets her passions get the best of her, falls for and has intimate relations with a fifteen-year-old student, well-played by Andrew Simpson. Termagant Barbara keeps a diary in which she posts gold stars for her ... Read More

They watched NOTES ON A SCANDAL at the movies and freaked out! The performances were so well done my aunts were pulled into it. They're in their 60s and 70s. They sat in the theater afterwards and tried to analyze the movie and find its faults. They were sure the faults were there but they were dumbfounded. Judi Dench as Barbara looked and behaved like the epitome of what every older woman does not want to be. My aunts rented the video and started a club talking about NOTES ON A SCANDAL specifically ...

This has to be one of the most bold and amazing piece of cinema. Rarely you get to see films that have your eyes glued at the screen. Judi Dench, she did shock and scare me both, she is at her very best in this film. Cate does an excellent work as well, she was amazing. The film, may seem to go slow initially but soon catches a rapid pace. Fine and flamboyant acting makes the film worth a watch.
