Notes on a Scandal

Notes on a Scandal: 7 out of 10.
Judi Dench is kinda creepy in this one, but it's an intriguing creep. You see, Cate Blanchett is part of a scandal, and Dench is taking notes. The fact it's 7/10 tells you both Dench and Blanchett are really good and the writing is great.
Dench delivers some good lines, like this one: "People like Sheba think they know what it is to be lonely. But of the drip, drip of the long-haul, no-end-in-sight solitude, they know nothing. What it's like to construct an entire weekend around a visit to the launderette. Or to be so chronically untouched that the accidental brush of a bus conductor's hand sends a jolt of longing straight to your groin. Of this, Sheba and her like have no clue. "

I saw the movie last night. It's really touched. I can't find good words to express what i feel. cos' I'm not a good english user actually.
(_ _); anyway, wellmade movie it is, and i love it, and thank you for being known such a good lines exactly. It's hard(pretty hard) for me to get whole lines through the movie only with her voice(i mean sound, no text). I wrote the review of this movie in korean. You're probably not able to read it.
anyhow, what a small world!!
