Yes. What a terrific movie. Gosling was superb.

The plot would have been completely unbelievable ... had it not been based on a true story!

Last night I saw two of the best performances I have seen in a long time. My Judi and Cate Blanchett in Notes on a Scandal.
Wow.
This movie was wonderful.
Judi Dench was amazing in this. She played that character with the right amounts of anger and loneliness. She could have made the character just a madwoman but instead portrayed her as being smart, flawed, lonely, depressed, angry and likeable all at the same time. Wonderful.
And Cate Blanchett is just amazing to watch. So very pretty with them big sad eyes.
Bill Nighy is terrific. Everytime I see him I love him.
I bought this film when it was first released to DVD and hadn't opened it. I watched it last night after revisiting Ladies in Lavender. Judi plays 2 completely different characters. So amazing.
See it if you haven't.

Oh, my! I forget that sometimes those who often share your opinion (like GC often does mine) can disagree sometimes. Notes was definitely not a fave.
