I had heard so much about "Notes on a Scandal," but I didn't know what it was about until I started watching it. This dark psychological thriller is narrated as though being read from the diary kept by an old school teacher. Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett delivered outstanding performances in this film. The subject matter is very adult, and at times, uncomfortable. However, this movie was terrifically put together and moving. The film is about an old school teacher in England who befriends a much younger new teacher. Both women have incredible secrets they are withholding, including an inappropriate affair with an underage male student. Like I said, the tale could be disturbing, but it was a great movie overall. It gets 4 out of 5 stars.
