Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

areatw 'Cracks' is a low-key, slow burning psychological drama with a dark and unexpected ending. The emphasis on dialogue and character development makes for a pleasant surprise and is not something you typically expect from a modern day thriller.I thought Eva Green delivered the stand out performance of the film as the mysterious and unpredictable Miss G. She was excellent throughout. The film does well to sustain tension for large parts of the film as the relationship between Fiamma, her classmates and Miss G develops. Despite its slow pace, 'Cracks' is never short on drama.Those who enjoy unpredictable and tense psychological thrillers should give this film a chance. It is one of the more thoughtful and intelligent thrillers out there.

rubylerouge I am a big fan of Eva Green, so jumped at a chance to see a flick of hers I hadn't seen before. The story is engaging, and well acted on all parts, but it is not a tale of a consensual affair, and had Eva Green's character been played by a man instead, I believe the synopsis would be much different, as would the average review. This is a story about a teacher who becomes obsessed with an approx. 13 year old student and molests her in her sleep, not an affair. This is a story about child molestation. There is little to go on by the cover, one would assume that the student is late high school age at least and had consented and been seduced. No. Not at all. Were someone who had been molested to see this movie without knowing its true nature, I think it could be traumatic.

SnoopyStyle It's the private all-girls St. Mathilda's School on Stanley Island, England in 1934. Fiamma Coronna (María Valverde) is the new girl from Spain. She boards with Di Radfield (Juno Temple), Poppy (Imogen Poots), and others. The girls admire their diving teacher Miss "G" Gribben (Eva Green). Miss G was a former student and has stayed in the isolated school. She claims to be worldly but is barely able to go to the nearby town. Fiamma is desperate to leave but she has caught the attention of Miss G. Di was the former favorite of Miss G and the previous best diver. Fiamma tries to reject Miss G and Di grows jealous.There is a great psycho sexual tone. There are great murky young female relationships. Eva Green plays the disturbed mentor with assurance. This takes on female connections without the unicorns and puppy dogs. The tension builds more and more with Miss G's slow deterioration. Jordan Scott's directions are steady and beautiful. She may have a future in the family business.

Lauren As I had stated once before there has yet been a film/ show in which Eva Green disappoints! Her performance alone is always captivating..along w the supporting actresses this movie was def a great watch and I went in not expecting or knowing much about it..it's based on an strict female boarding school in England during the 1930s and focuses on the relationships between a teacher and her charges and how they so desperately seek affection, attention and acceptance and especially the conflicts that arise during the arrival of a new charge..it gives you a great artistic cinematic imagery of how deep and far one can go for desire, obsession, jealousy, and the sense of belonging. I loved the way everything came together and how you remained on edge the entire time. This little indie film was as well captivating and emotional in itself and they did a great job showing you how regardless of your age there's always that deep dark desire inside of us regardless of who or what it may be aside from that I recommend it to anyone and I suggest you decide for yourself!
