Notes on a Scandal (2006) Directed by Richard Eyre

Summary: A bitter and aging teacher uses her knowledge of a fellow teacher's affair with a student to blackmail and manipulate the woman.

Things I Liked: The powerful performances and quietly effective direction. The impressive manner in which the filmmakers and actors build and maintain dramatic tension throughout the story.

Things I Didn't Like: The film's score, while well-done, occasionally feels intrusive.
