Notes on a Scandal (2006)
Dench is amazing here as the manipulative lesbian — I sometimes wish people would stop writing bad storylines about gays and lesbians. She falls in love with the new young and married w/2 kids art teacher, Blanchett, who herself has fallen in love with a young 10th year (grade) student — a boy. The story seems so wrong and unlikely with Dench’s character’s gaydar 180 degrees out of phase, but it’s like watching a spectacular accident happen. Despite the terrible story, the acting is quite good.
