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.

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.

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.

Eyre paces it with an eye for the telling detail, and Blanchett and Dench give harrowing, fearless performances.

Stages the story with a tastefulness both ponderous and dishonest

Lurid melodrama lifted by corrosive writing and a frightening performance from the Dame.

British cinema fans shouldn't miss this one.

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.

Smart and brash, it's a picture Bette Davis and Joan Crawford would have killed (preferably each other) to be in.

The strength of the writing, and therefore the directing, is that it sees the scandal as a minor point in a human experience that is naturally corrupt, and cares more about how those on the inside choose to deal with their realities.
