Notes on a Scandal

Barbara informs the head of the school about Sheba's affair. Sheba, after getting kicked from her house, moves to live with Barbara. Only to find out Barbara is a lesbian, and been in love with her all the while. Sheba then hits Barbara, and returns to live with her husband. In the movie's ending scene Barbara meets a new "prey".

Continuity mistake: Sheba's eye makeup in the scene where she confronts Barbara keeps changing. One moment it's thick and black, the next it's barely visible, then it's streaked and smeared, then it's back to thick and black, etc.

Barbara Covett: People like Sheba think they know what it is to be lonely. But of the drip, drip of the long-haul, no-end-in-sight solitude, they know nothing. What it's like to construct an entire weekend around a visit to the launderette. Or to be so chronically untouched that the accidental brush of a bus conductor's hand sends a jolt of longing straight to your groin. Of this, Sheba and her like have no clue.
