Review of Notes on a Scandal (2006) by Rick Groen for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 30 Aug 2012
We're left with the weakest part of the novel -- the lurching and often melodramatic plot -- plus the chance to see two splendid actors, Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, do the best they can with what they're given (sadly, in Blanchett's case, not much).
Okay, no one would call that trade-off a scandal, but it sure ain't much of a bargain.
