USA Today: “A potent and captivating account of misconduct and betrayal with a tour de force performance by Judi Dench. Cate Blanchett and Bill Nighy are marvelous.”
NY Post: “Notes is delicious. The movie belongs to Dench and Blanchett, who have a throwdown that will rank in cinematic history. ‘Notes on a Scandal’ is a great cure for a holiday hangover. See it.”
NY Daily News: “Pick your own sports metaphor, but watching Dench and Blanchett go at each other is the match of the year.”
NY Observer (Sarris): “An exquisitely dark comedy of manners and morals.”
LA Times: “The ‘Fatal Attraction’ of the oughties.”
Washington Post: “Darkly brilliant. You have games within games, intrigues within intrigues.”
Boston Globe: “A movie so smart and entertaining you almost don’t feel its chill. There are moments of tension to make you crawl up the back of your seat.”
Boston Herald: “The most fiendishly poisonous and hilariously nasty villainess in recent history, a character for the ages.”
Chicago Sun-Times: “Perhaps the most impressive acting duo in any film of 2006. Dench and Blanchett are magnificent. ‘Notes on a Scandal’ is whip-smart, sharp and grown up.”
San Francisco Chronicle: "If you like your films strong, this Notes is not to be missed."
I have read the book, and the film's adaptation appears to be even better having only seen clips and trailers. The story line is different, but I think I prefer the film's to the novel's.
