Leave your thoughts about Scandal.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie's strength is that it is surprisingly wise about the complexities of the human heart. |
| Film4Jon FortgangA quality cast, polished writing and the atmospheric evocation of Soho and Whitehall sleaze make for a powerful depiction of Ward's fall from grace. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a very good film with hardly a misstep that stands up more than 10 years later. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyAs a reenactment of the tabloid tempest that derailed Britain's Conservative Party in the '60s, it is a cotton candy docu-melodrama desperately seeking social significance. |
| VarietyVariety StaffHurt is excellent as the charming but shallow Ward. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversIn 1989, until now a year of unparalleled cinematic mediocrity, the hypnotic and haunting Scandal looms like a colossus. Prepare to be wowed. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksThe performances are superb, particularly John Hurt as Ward. |
| Austin ChronicleMargaret MoserIn Scandal director Caton-Jones has faithfully recreated early Sixties swinging London, with its East End nightlife, ska clubs, and girls galore. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheila BensonThe film holds because of the brilliance of Hurt and the fascination of Whalley-Kilmer, as well as the sly, tongue-in-cheek viciousness of Bridget Fonda's Mandy Rice-Davies. |
| Associated PressDolores BarclayMichael Caton-Jones' Scandal tries to recreate those muddied times for the British in a sex-laden but leaden film that's held together only by John Hurt's strong performance as Stephen Ward. |
