Full Plot Details

Bitter, cynical, and lonely Barbara Covett (Dame Judi Dench) is a tough and conservative teacher, near to retirement, who is loathed by her colleagues and students. In the loneliness of her apartment, she spends her spare time writing in her journal, taking care of her old cat Portia, and missing her special friend Jennifer Dodd. When Sheba Hart (Cate Blanchett) joins the high school as the new art teacher, Barbara dedicates her attention to the newcomer, writing sharp and unpleasant comments about her behavior and clothes. When Barbara helps Sheba in a difficult situation with two students, the grateful Sheba invites her to have lunch with her family. Sheba introduces her husband and former professor Richard Hart (Bill Nighy), who is about twenty years older than her; her rebellious teenager daughter Polly (Juno Temple); and her son Ben (Max Lewis), who has Down's Syndrome. Barbara becomes close to Sheba, but when she accidentally discovers that Sheba is having an affair with fifteen-year-old student Steven Connolly (Andrew Simpson), Barbara sees the chance to manipulate and get closer to Sheba, hiding the secret from the school headmaster. When Portia dies and Sheba does not stay with Barbara in the veterinary office to see Ben in a theater play, Barbara plots a Machiavellian revenge against Sheba, creating a scandal and consequent turmoil in their lives.

Movie Reviews

Detroit Free Press - 10/10 by Terry LawsonAlmost unbearably tense as the relationship between cat and mouse takes completely unexpected, if completely believable, turns.
Hollywood.com - 10/10 by Kit BowenA wonderfully salacious and psychologically controlling character piece, which brilliantly showcases two of the industry's more gifted actresses.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanIt's a poison bonbon tastier than just about anything else out there.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Ruthe SteinNotes on a Scandal won't be everyone's cup of tea. But if you like your films strong, this one is not to be missed.
WaffleMovies.com - 10/10 by Willie Wafflethe great actress gets a chance to rock your world as one of the creepiest, most fiendish characters you have ever seen on screen.
Contra Costa Times - 10/10 by Mary F. PolsNotes on a Scandal is so magnificently acted that you barely notice, until a telling little coda, that you've been watching a horror film, albeit one so sophisticated that all the violence is verbal.
Philadelphia Daily News - 9/10 by Gary ThompsonThough [Dench's character's] actions are cruel, they are brilliantly, memorably so -- executed with a twisted genius worthy of Iago.
New Yorker - 9/10 by David DenbyIn England, it seems, actresses have nothing to fear from age. They can simply wait for writers to create fresh work for them.
Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Bill MullerThe movie serves as a convenient locale for Dench and Blanchett to showcase their abilities, but it could be more involving.
Aisle Seat - 9/10 by Mike McGranaghanNotes on a Scandal is my favorite kind of thriller. It's the kind that really could happen.
