Segredos de um Escândalo

Twenty years after their novel made headlines, Gracie Atherton-Yu and her husband Joe, who is 23 years her junior, are preparing to see their children enter high school. However, their lives are turned upside down when Elizabeth Berry, a Hollywood actress, comes to investigate Gracie's story for a film adaptation. The family dynamics unfold as Joe realizes that he has lost his youth. **English** Based on a story by Burch and Alex Mechanik, which was loosely inspired by the Mary Kay Letourneau scandal, a 36-year-old teacher who got pregnant by a 12-year-old boy, was arrested for 3 months, when she was released she had another child, arrested, when she was released again she married the boy who was now 21. The stories are very different, but I like it anyway, a great film, the Oscar was perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but the film has almost all the ingredients that a quasi-biography deserves.

As histórias em muito se diferem, mas de todo modo me agrada, ótimo filme, Oscar foi talvez um certo exagero, mas o filme tem quase todos os ingredientes que uma quase biografia merece.
