MCT:August 5, 2008Great movie! Judi Dench was incredible and her character's narrative throughout the movie were awesome! Cate Blanchett as usual was great.

MCT:August 4, 2008I always wanted to see this movie..never got a chance except yesterday!..
Usually movies i really wana see turn to be bad..But this movie was just ******!
Excellent and crazy performance by both Judi and Cate..How can the academy people prefer Jennifer Hudson over Cate Blanchett in giving the oscar..
As Cate's performance was 100% oscar performace..As well for Judi Dench...She made us feel her pain of loneliness...Really Amazing,legendry actresess.
Incredible movie. I've always been drawn to films that lean towards more psychologically provocative issues. This movie is one of the best in this arena. The story was just so unbelievably beautiful and chilling, it pulls hard on your emotions on so many levels. The solid structuring of the story and the flawless progression of the storyline was really commendable. The director should have won an award on these two things alone. Lastly, the near perfect and unforgettable performances from Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett completed the success that this movie turned-out to be. The way they both ingeniously gave life to their characters and worked seamlessly well with and against one another on screen was so spectacular to watch that you'reliterally going to be pulled to edge of your seat from start to finish, swept in an emotional upheaval for each of them. Both of their awards were very much deserved. On a personal note, I really liked the splendidly eloquent and scathingly bitter narration of Judi Dench of the entire film, especially since I really like well narrated movies. Definitely, this movie is a must-see.
Psychologically and morally controversial.
EXcellent...excellent..excellent!
Simply a must see movie.. -
MCT:July 21, 2008Yaaaah creepy, bith of them were in their way. The acting is superb and the story too. Psychologically and morally controversial. I liked the voice off of Judi Dench telling her inner thoughts to the viewers as if we were part of this horrible plan...

i love the idea of the story!!so unique.bth blanchett and dench also acted really well.unfortunately nighy couldn't balance their acting.he acted like in pirates of the carribean where he also took part.
the plot goes pretty quick so it's not boring at all.and the music also makes the movie not boring. so this movie is definitely can be watched by non drama goers! -
MCT:July 7, 2008
I was disturbed by Dench's creepiness, and Blanchett was amazingly naive. There were some incredibly uncomfortable moments between the leads, which made this an excellent psychological drama.

Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett are two schoolteachers locked in a battle of wits. Both actresses command your attention. You cannot look away, no matter how uncomfortable things get.

Amazing and emotionally intense film. Cate Blanchett acts extraordinarily well, and Judi Dench was amazing, leaving clear how their characters are. This is certainly Richard Eyre's best gem, which was nominated for 4 Academy Awards, including best actress in a leading role (Judi Dench) and in a supporting role (Cate Blanchett). Philip Glass once again makes the film work with a spectacular musical score!
85/100 -

easily some of the best acting I've seen in a long while. Judi Dench is just mindblowing and Blanchett rivetingly innocent, but at the same time deeply and darkly troubled and lonely. even Nighy was underratedly impressive. an intense, gripping, disturbing psychological thriller that is astoundingly brilliant.

This was fantastically bizzare and disturbing.
And really well-acted.
Judi Dench sure plays a good loony old lady. -
MCT:June 11, 2008solid performances. script was eerie. not really my type of film but glad i saw such brilliant acting.

This movie made me feel wrong, which is what they were trying to do. Not for a casual afternoon laze. But seriously, how can you go wrong with Cate & Judi? It's almost like screenwriter cheating.

Perhaps the great opportunism put the real scandal affair in the shadows.. a brave proof for Cate Blanchett! and i liked Philip Glass soundtrack the same that i appreciated in The Hours.

Pretty good movie, although I was confused whether or not Judi Dench's character (Barbara) was lesbian or not. However it was beautifully acted and well portrayed, bravo to the English. They highly amuse me.

SUPERB acting from Dench and Blanchett. The story is tame enough for the masses, while showing realistic lust.
-
MCT:May 9, 2008I really enjoyed this film .It showed the darkest the deepest thinking of women.It also describe the fake relationship between two friends .It is meaningful .

Physical attraction makes a Professor surrender to one of her teenager students. The affair becomes public when her supposedly best friend, who has lesbian tendencies, betrays her, out of jelousy.
Both women give astonishing performances. -
MCT:May 3, 2008
A sexy thriller on intrigue starring Dame Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett. A movie of secrets, obsession, and deceit, it's wonderfully disturbing thanks to the acting prowess of Blanchett and Dame Dench.

I really didnt get this movie. It was quite...strange.
I know it wasn't supposed to be one you enjoyed, but i just thought it was really weird!
I really wanted to see it, but was very disappointed with the end result.
It moved way too fast, and the boy was so blunt. I know, i know, he was only 15, but still!! And the whole Judi Dench bein a lesbian, soo weird. yuck!
It also made me feel a tad sick, the age difference and everything. And the whole acting when the hubby found out. I was expecting him to go absolutely crazy, but he was just like 'He's 15, if your guna cheat on me make him be older' i was like huh?! i duno, just really didnt like it...posted 402 days ago -

Somebody kindly explain to Jules how to use proper English grammar. If no one noticed, I'm alluding to his usage of, "omg"
I'm assuming he can only mean, "Oh my God" as if Notes on a Scandal has anything to do with religion.
