Notes On A Scandal / U.K. / 2006

Great performances by British actors (plus Aussie Cate)are thrown together without much sense that the film has any real idea what to do with them. There are some great scenes here – e.g. Bill Nighy as the husband in enraged meltdown – but the film seems dishonest in the way it ignores the parallels between the Dench and Blanchett characters (their equal self-delusion and disjunction from reality) in favour of building up Judi Dench as the lesbian vampire monster.
