Kind of wish we had just watched Hannibal Rising instead &#8230; ok im being unfair the film was excellent Dench gave an amazing performance as Barabara Covett, an unpopular and lonely old history teacher. Blanchett&#8217;s performance was also excellent as Sheba Hart, the new arts teacher who embarks on an affair with an underage student.<\/p>\n<p>Without giving two much away the story focuses on the &#8220;friendship&#8221; between these two characters and at times its actually quite disturbing. Dench is really creepy as her character manipulates Blanchett&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>All in all the the evening was a lot of fun, and I it did cheer me up &#8230; so thanks Amanda!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had an interesting evening last night.
