Title: The nominations and accolades were all well-deserved
Review: This film is a fine example of the quality craftsmanship that goes into the best British filmmaking, with a powerhouse cast, led by the ever-luminous Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench in one of her darkest, most powerful roles to date. Blanchett plays a naive, somewhat rudderless woman who has become a schoolteacher for lack of anything better to do. She falls under the dominion of an older, more cunning schoolmarm, played by Dench, whose evil, serpentine glances play perfectly off the repellant voice-overs taken from her character's diary. The two lead actresses have a strong on-screen chemistry that compliments the immense power struggle between their characters. A taut script, beautiful cinematography and a wealth of strong supporting talent makes this an outstanding (if thematically icky) piece of work. Recommended.
