Lust, jealousy, and revenge come cloaked in the guise of friendship in this psychological drama. Barbara Covett (Judi Dench) is a history teacher at a high school in London; while elderly Barbara is very bright, she's also severe and domineering, with a strong personality that tends to put people off. Barbara also takes a voyeuristic delight in recording the actions of those around her in her diary in the most minute detail. When Sheba Hart (Cate Blanchett), a bright and attractive woman in her mid-thirties, is hired as the school's new art teacher, Barbara believes she may have found someone worthy of her friendship, though she's soon disappointed to discover that Sheba has a husband and two children, a lifestyle that she finds offensively bourgeois. However, Barbara's obsessive interest in Sheba is rewarded when the younger teacher confesses that one of her students, Steven (Andrew Simpson), has developed an obviously sexual interest in her. However, in fact, Steven's crush on Sheba is hardly one-sided, and in time Barbara discover that the two have been making love on a regular basis for months. When circumstances turn Barbara against Sheba, she uses what she knows about the affair to destroy the life of her "friend." Based on the novel by Zoe Heller, Notes on a Scandal also stars Bill Nighy. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Review For Movie Notes on a Scandal
Blanchett has also recently appeared in The Good German and Babel, but this represents far and away her best work.Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Richard Eyre's direction merely plays up the melodramatic aspects of Zoë Heller's novel, screenwriter Patrick Marber's acidic dialogue occasionally slips into the overwritten, and the rest of the cast gamely chews table scraps.
Melissa Anderson-Time Out New York
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.
Jessica Winter-Time Out
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.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel
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.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie-Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In England, it seems, actresses have nothing to fear from age. They can simply wait for writers to create fresh work for them.
David Denby-New Yorker
Lurid melodrama lifted by corrosive writing and a frightening performance from the Dame.
Luke Goodsell-Empire Magazine Australasia
Stages the story with a tastefulness both ponderous and dishonest
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion
Smart and brash, it's a picture Bette Davis and Joan Crawford would have killed (preferably each other) to be in.
Amy Nicholson-I.E. Weekly
British cinema fans shouldn't miss this one.
Peg Aloi-Boston Phoenix
Eyre paces it with an eye for the telling detail, and Blanchett and Dench give harrowing, fearless performances.
Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review
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.
Brandon Fibbs-BrandonFibbs.com
born from watching too many episodes of Jerry Springer, and the filmmakers decided it would be more accepted by the Academy if the characters had British accents.
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
The characters' motives are base enough, and there's an odd combination of petty incidents having walloping consequences, but the ironies are as delicately layered and "delicious" as they could possibly be without a hint of preciosity.
Alan Dale-Blogcritics.org
Dench's performance is the greatest pleasure in a hugely enjoyable, highly literate drama.
Lottie Moggach-thelondonpaper
...a thoroughly trashy piece of work...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
Em seus melhores momentos, é um drama relativamente eficaz. (...) Nos piores, parece uma versão de O Pentelho protagonizada por mulheres e com Judi Dench no lugar de Jim Carrey.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena
Un brillante duelo actoral entre Judi Dench y Cate Blanchett %u2013dos de las mejores actrices de la actualidad- que es también un sutil estudio sobre la soledad y la obsesión.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total
As much as Barbara judges, however, you may find yourself in a quandary, not judging so much as taking pleasure in her vile, brilliant perfection.
Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters
The movie's driving force is Dench, whose extraordinary performance only underscores her post as one of the world's finest living actresses.
Randy Shulman-Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)
A measured and yet gloriously overblown study of desire, entitlement and the twists we experience while shuttling between the two.
Michelle Orange-Reeler
Without a clear protagonist, "Notes On a Scandal" collapses under the weight of its significant subject matter. Nevertheless, Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench rise above the ill- prepared source material with their passionate performances.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
This is a strong drama that simmers its way to a boil by the end of the film. It falters only at the very end, in which the story falls back on a cliché.
Mark R. Leeper-rec.arts.movies.reviews
A borderline melodrama film that is fortunate to feature two superb enough performances to grant it high entertainment status.
Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses
There are brilliantly handled scenes of anger, embarrassment and humiliation, and brutal physical and emotional confrontations of great power.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
Engrossing, bewildering, searing and shattering, this is a film that reverberates on every level.
