It looks like I forgot to write up the last movie I saw, which was 6 months ago. Notes on a Scandal stars 2 Dame Judy Dench and Cate Blanchette. 2 actors that are a dream to watch. You can probably guess from the title that the story centers around a scandal. My problem with the movie is that I didn't believe the scandal. I don't want to give anything away, but I just didn't find the scandalous scenario plausible. The acting is good, along with the writing. The problem is in the casting. Cate Blanchette, for all her abilities, is just too stunning to play lowly. I don't buy it. Dench is a thrill to watch.
