A Disappointing Continuation
... View MoreInstead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
... View MoreTo all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
... View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
... View More'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.
... View MoreAs 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!
... View MoreI came across this film out of desperation the other night...just wanting to watch something decent. What I found was a gem of a movie. I wasn't familiar with anyone in the cast except Eva Green from Dark Shadows, who I didn't really have an opinion of either way and I'm not a fan of boarding school movies of any sort, but I watched it anyway. Eva Green, as Miss G, was completely captivating and I could picture myself having a school girl crush on her when I was in high school...or heck, maybe even now. Her character comes across as educated, well traveled and totally alluring in every way...until a Spanish transfer student comes to the school and she begins to unravel. The film is beautifully shot and the music is a perfect compliment to it. I really can't wait to see what else Jordan Scott does next.
... View MoreIt's hard to spot any weaknesses in this excellent 1934-drama, dealing with teenage girls in their boarding school.You may say that this school's location in the countryside is more isolated than one may believe possible. On the other hand, this isolation is functional to make 'Crack' work.Apart from this, there can only be praise for this film. First of all, its acting stands out. Providing us with a most credible picture of life inside such a school. Also connecting well with this film's coherent story. Second, acting and story are very well supported by a high-quality shooting, that lends much from the lovely landscapes around. Acting, story and shooting all excellently merge together into this fine piece of entertainment.
