Notes on a Scandal

A master class in emotional blackmail; Judy Dench is sicker and more twisted than the worst serial killers. Almost a trashy TV movie if it weren’t for superlative acting from Dench, Blanchette, et al. I only wish it plunged a little deeper into Greek tragedy. The resolution feels slightly too neat. Nevertheless, thoroughly enjoyable by appealing to our voyeuristic, train-wreck mentality. One of my favorites of 2006. A must see.
