notes on a scandal

at one point during this film, i had to remind myself that i was watching fictional characters in a story and so my stomach that was in knots slowly loosened itself up..but not for long. cate blanchett and judi dench played their parts so well that i had difficulty remaining relaxed throughout the scenes. this movie, based on the novel by zoe heller, focused on the lives of two women. you think the movie is about one thing and then it becomes about something else..but ultimately it's about two very flawed individuals and the consequences that play as a result of their deplorable actions. also, philip glass creates yet another gorgeous score that mirrors the intensity of this film. 
i recommend this one.
