    Starring Judi Dench alongside Blanchett, Notes on a Scandalis a riveting psychological thriller about a lonesome teacher who uncovers a co-worker’s affair with an underage student. The plot is surprisingly complex and dramatic. Patrick Marber’s script goes a long way towards making this a great film, but ultimately, it all rests on the powerhouse performances by both Blanchett and Dench to knock the story out of the park. The only downside is that it’s a tad melodramatic.

    An Australian drama set in the Little Saigon region outside Sydney, Little Fishis one of the smaller movies that Cate Blanchett has starred in, but it’s also one of the best films she’s ever made. It’s a dark tale about recovery and the drug trade; it uses tragedy as a mirror and comedy as a coping mechanism, balancing the two perfectly. This movie rests almost entirely on the performances of its leads, including a striking Hugo Weaving and, of course, Blanchett, doing some of the best charac...

    Although the How to Train Your Dragon movies were never as popular as DreamWorks’ other big animated franchises like Shrek and Kung Fu Panda, they are arguably better films.

The third movie, The Hidden World, which was released in 2019, advanced the plot by having Hiccup contend with his dragon Toothless’ newfound affection...
