What critics compared Notes on a Scandal to
Like the punk-rock past behind Cate Blanchett’s new life in Notes on a Scandal, Eva’s lot has left her compromised, her new duty consuming her (as Swinton’s character has experienced in Michael Clayton).
Yet even if director/co-writer Thomas Vinterberg doesn't generate the tension of "Notes on a Scandal" or fully connect Lucas' hunting hobby to the community's ruthless pursuit of their target, "The Hunt" lets viewers feel the frustration of a victim given no trust or genuine opportunity for defense.
