Notes On A Scandal

Mr. Adam took me to see this movie last Saturday night. Was it good? Yes. Would I recommend it? No. I found the story written VERY well. I found the directing and the acting superb - but sadly, the ending was as predictable as K-Fed & Britney's divorce. I felt with all this talent zooming around on screen the least they could have done was write a proper ending. Ultimately, the underlying, rarely spoken lesbian theme was unnerving. Why do gays always have to be portrayed as manipulative psychos? Now I know lesbians are a little freaky, but I don't make them out to be psychotic just because of a little patchouli and comfortable shoes. This movie pulls you in (although we broke my NO MOVIES AFTER 10PM RULE) and you really go along for the ride until the very end where I sat astounded that the bile that was regurgitated up at me and labeled the ending. I'd hate to say this especially since I adore the two leads, but wait for this on DVD - it will be just as good. And you won't feel ripped off by Hollywood making the gays crazy or feeding you an ending you've seen 1,000 times already.
