AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

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.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

earthboli This movie is a suspenseful masterpiece and coming-of-age period drama, with slow tension building to a grim climax.In Cracks, you will see several youth lost and forgotten at a countryside boarding school, idolizing the "fearless" teacher/swimming coach Miss G. Alas, the youth slowly discover that people can be cunning, cruel, and dishonest. It only takes one outsider to come along to shift the balance in the girls, and trigger in their mentor a slow descent into obsession and jealousy.Miss G emanates confidence, power, and intensity, but the film masterly reveals over time that all is not as it seems. Everything she created was a carefully crafted charade that crashed down when she was confronted with a person more worldly and refined, simultaneously triggering sexual awakening, jealousy, and hostile obsession.This film is somewhat disturbing for its portrayal of certain sexual themes (I will leave it at that to keep from spoilers), but unbelievably well-acted, with a gripping script and Oscar- worthy cinematography. It is, in short, a masterpiece about shattering facades and growing up, albeit the growing pains are gritty and traumatic. No one in this film is without blame for what happens in the climax, but the lessons learned last a lifetime.This film is an underrated gem of cinema, and I wish it had garnered more attention when it was released.

Hossein Parsian I watched this movie at least three times since I am also a movie buff. I was very curious , as I am for any other movies , as to where actually this movie was filmed . I got three locations given by people in Internet which suggests the movie filming took place at these places but I used these places by Google Earth to see if they really pertain to locations where movie was filmed. Only one of them pertains to it but others do not. The movie locations were : 1- Headfort school, kells , Ireland , 2- Redcross , county wicklow, Ireland , 3- Eureka secondary school , Ireland . Of these , only first one is somehow correct but only when Fiamma arrives for the first time by a 1934 car to enter school . The other two do not correspond to any other scenes in the movie at all . The buildings'area where final moments of movie is coming to close is not at all distinguishable as to where this place is . Any idea form IMDb viewers

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.

sesht Plenty's been written about Eva green nowadays. But she's been slumming' it of late, esp. if one goes by her performance in this little-seen/known gem, that also boasts a fine ensemble, including Juno Temple and Imogen Poots.Though this came out earlier, a case can be made that this would make a fine companion piece with 'Jagten', both of these being 2 sides of the same coin, as it were.The setting (a tad Gothic in nature, though the bright lighting in almost every scene tries to keep that presumption at bay) is a young girls' boarding school, and things are not always what they seem. Suffice to say that talking more about this might give most of the plot away, so I should stop here, and advise you not to read anything up. Very dark, not for the squeamish, this is a study in obsession and deception, and keeps one guessing right until the end, where a dash of irony makes us feel that everyone is the protagonist with nary an antagonist. In a lesser work, that might make it all unravel (negatively), but in this, it kinda suits the material on play.Not to be missed. A fine addition to Green's filmography.
