Judi Dench's Best Lines- Notes on a Scandal

[@absoluteacw]

I personally don't tend to make remarks on actors but Judi Dench is frighteningly compelling, relentless and so believable, a perfect performance.

[@laurac1986]

Not enough people know this movie exists. It's so wonderful

[@yrghudrgu7dgjf339]

just seen it for the first time today shits crazy lmao top 5 dramas all time

[@salviaofficinalis02]

A mature, middle upper class, bored housewife living in a semi detached terraced home in North London decides to bed her 15 year old pupil from the gutter in a school she just started working at, and justify her actions through her poor relationship with her dad, the age gap between her and her husband and the amount of time she spent taking care of her son who's born with Down's Syndrome. What's so wonderful about that? And all resolves thanks to the cat lady she befriends and almost beds played by OBE Dame Judi Dench.

[@stephaniels5421]

@@jtarantula3390 The only part that never really made a lot of sense to me was the fact that Barbara didn't really tell "Limp little Brian" a lot, she just said it was her impression that Hart was attracted to the boy. Then it seemed, things just went off the rails.

[@chrisga9771]

"Does she ever mention me?" "Let me think....no, never." SAVAGE from head to toe. I enjoyed Helen Mirren in The Queen, but this is Dame Judi's crowning achievement; to say she was robbed of the Oscar may be overstating it...but she was.

[@meredumais4934]

Judi Dench is one of the top actresses in the world. Brilliant, natural, convincing. The psychological components in the film were superb. I have seen it at least 5 times and always discover some other dimension of the characters. I dare say, my favorite actress is Bette Davis and Judi Dench is in her category.

[@MissysDomain]

I absolutely love this movie! I have watched it so many times. Judy has the best lines.

[@iloveyoupug]

I've watched this movie over and over, never gets old. I love Judi Dench!

[@Peculiarpossum]

The best thing about this movie is that there is no good guy or bad guy. Everyone is a bit of both and you can’t help but hate them at some moments and have empathy for them at others

[@winko567]

LOL ikr? XD everyone in this movie gets exactly what they deserve :P almost reminds me of "it's always sunny in Philadelphia" LOL

[@vibes7144]

Her snicker when Cate had the foam mustache, it wasn’t shade, it was her falling in love with her prey. Bewitched and enchanted, she was.

[@claydogg234]

One of my favorite movies. Judi Dench is so devastating in this movie while Kate Blanchett is so vulnerable. They both should have won Oscars. I've seen the movie almost a dozen times and it never gets old.

“Let’s not, shall we?” I’ve got to incorporate that into my discourse.

[@zoeevans6410]

The book on which this film is based is phenomenal - full of wry observations, like the fact that Sheba is so posh she's never encountered a three-piece suite before!

[@pablofrank2466]

Love this film and the book it is based on. A wonderful compilation of quotes - just need to add the one where Barbara is invited to Sunday lunch: "Bliss, a merry flag on the Arctic wilderness of my calendar. One must make an effort when one receives an invitation; the art of it is seeming not to. Lasagne tends to disagree with my bowels; I'll ask for a small portion".

[@kimberlyelliott7933]

Lol love it!!!!

[@salviaofficinalis02]

The looks the other teachers exchanged when Barbara spoke out about Sherba's dad's work...(having possibly done a background check) sums up her whole operation in the film.

This is a very dark and pretty scary movie, but they put just enough humour in there to stop it becoming a full on psycho thriller. I love this film so much, I often go and sit on the famous bench and have a ‘Notes On A Scandal’ moment 🚬 🚬 Don’t think, DO DO DO!

[@ciudadanakane8743]

I miss "this time with her has been delicious " and she's looking to Sheba's body while she's sleeping. i laughed so hard! I'm so addicted to this movie, it's my cate's favorite , I've seen it hundreds of times, the dynamic of these two woman is just mesmerizing. I wish Judy had won the Oscar.

[@seanyeo5514]

The thing about this movie vs real life is that you want to hate Barbara for being a vindictive lonely old crone who yearns for relationships with younger prettier girls, but you just can’t hate her when she’s so eloquent in her writing and speech, she seems like wonderful company in fact and you’d think in real life with that sharp wit she’d have been able to get a partner rather than languishing alone. It’s often difficult to have to dramatise something and make it worth watching while also maintaining the reality that a lady like Barbara would probably be quite an insipid character.

[@marialosadavazquez1151]

I hate Barbara. She's a pedestrian!

[@mikahong]

On the contrary, I think her personality makes her lonely. It's the type of wit and charisma ppl liked to watch but not be around.

This film would have been nominated for Best Picture if the nominations were extended to 10 nominees way back Oscars 2007.

[@ShellyDZ99]

The book this is based on (What Was She Thinking? Notes on a Scandal) is also great.

[@GypsyFairy85]

Everyone that saw the movie should read the book. It goes into Sheba's relationship with her mom. ( A real piece of work she is!)

[@williamt594]

If anyone other than Helen mirren in the queen ( which I think is also an amazing performance btw ) had won the Oscar over judi for notes on a scandal, it would have been one of the biggest injustices in oscar history ever. This is her best performance, amazing acting from Dench.

This movie was expertly executed. Judi Dench plays the seemingly benevolent schoolmarm like a stradivarius and Cate Blanchett equally precise as the artsy bored housewife of privilege fiddling around with a teenage student oblivious to the schoolmarms crush on her. If they marketed this with a bouquet of rainbow flags, more people would have seen it. It was promoted as subtly as it was acted. I love this movie.❤

Well, after this video, Tracey Ullman's Judi Dench is not so far-fetched after all, even mild in comparison.
