Posted: 3/20/2008A review of Notes on a Scandal by Nannar662
I found this film very insightful and thought provoking. The character of Barbara was so narcissistic, that it was almost frightening. Her ability to manipulate others to her own ends makes one suspect others of their motives, as I'm certain there are many like her in the real world. Overall, I enjoyed the story and the interaction of the characters. The author is to be commended in handling this delicate and too often real subject so well. One question..?? When the HeadMaster of the school confronted Barbara, he said "You sent Jennifer's fiance a (sounded like) 'reef'." Either I misunderstood the word, or failed to grasp the British terminology. Can anyone clarify this for me? I would reccomend this film to others. It was worth the time to watch it.

This film doesn't glamorize pediphelia, doesn't sensationalize lesbianism. It's just a wonderfully well-done film with acting, par excellance. These two women are so convincing, you are glued to your seat, waiting for the next shoe to drop. Go and see it.

This is an amazing movie that DOES NOT glamourize something illegal. Sheba gets caught, loses her family, and has to face the media. The film shows the consequences of Shebas actions. Also, the film isnt about that, its about two extremely lonely women, one who is lonely on the inside, even with a family, and the other just flat-out lonely and by herself. They both look for a way out. Cate Blanchett in this movie is my favorite performance. Its amazing! She got completely emotionally naked and was able to show this amazing lonliness and vulnerablility with a person who feels trapped on the inside and who ends up looking for the wrong thing to get out. I give the performances and the film itself an A.

I thought the movie was slow albeit excellent acting. The theme, well, old hat with a slight twist. Bored with older woman, young, very young, man embroiled in sexual relationship whether there is an older, lesbian, woman who wants the woman or not. I cannot believe this is up for Best Movie. Please tell me, NO.

This movie is so good great acting, terrific plot, wonderful dialog and an interesting music score. It is just the right length and never, never drags. If you enjoyed Matchpoint, you will also like this movie. I thought it many ways, it was actually better.
