Dos mujeres atrapadas en un drama de necesidad y traición se hallan en el centro de este misterio psicológico, DIARIO DE UN ESCÁNDALO. Las vueltas y revueltas del relato quedan anotadas en el amargo diario de Barbara (Judi Dench), una despótica y solitaria profesora que gobierna su aula con mano de hierro en una escuela pública secundaria situada en Londres y que se cae a pedazos. Con la excepción de su gata, Portia, Barbara vive sola, sin amigos ni confidentes - pero su mundo cambia cuando conoce a la nueva profesora de arte de la escuela, Sheba Hart (Cate Blanchett). Sheba parece ser el alma gemela y la leal amiga que Barbara siempre ha estado buscando. Pero cuando descubre que Sheba mantiene una tórrida relación con uno de sus jóvenes alumnos (Andrew Simpson), su naciente relación da un ominoso giro. Entonces, cuando Barbara amenaza con revelar el terrible secreto de Sheba al esposo de ésta (Bill Nighy) y al mundo entero, los propios secretos y las siniestras obsesiones de Barbara salen a primer plano con estrépito, exponiendo los engaños que se ocultan en el núcleo de las vidas de las mujeres.

Wow. How can things not go downhill for the British monarchy when their education system relies on teachers like homosexual schemers and irresponsible pedophiles? The director manipulates the audience and casts Cate Blanchett as the victim. But you don't need to sympathize with her. Especially when Judi Dench puts effort into portraying her character as a malevolent monster. But on a human level, I understand more the older of the two women who has no support, who can't cope with loneliness and fear of helplessness, and who ultimately could, if she truly were an immoral pig, come up with far more direct blackmail than Cate Blanchett's character, who lost herself somewhere in puberty. I have no problem with the believability of story details because years ago I witnessed practically the same case when a high school teacher got together with a young student, and only because he was over 15, unlike her movie colleague, she avoided prosecution. However, she had plenty of shame to deal with and her marriage took a hard hit. Overall impression: 75%.

Beautiful Cate Blanchett and superstar actress Judi Dench in one movie. And as Cate is truly beautiful, it was extremely gripping to watch her character. I know it is an acting duet of two major actresses, but Cate dominated the scene so much that I felt sorry for her character at the end of the film. Very sorry. Cate actually dominated the whole film. So, if you didn’t know why I enjoyed this film so much, it was because of Cate. Need I say more?

Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench. Isn’t that enough? An above-par script. You want more? Sure-handed direction. Still not enough? So here's Glass's traditionally perfect souondtrack. If the aforementioned pros are not enough to give you a highly above average viewing experience, then I really don't know what more you want…
