Review of Cracks (2009) by Ernest E — 10 Dec 2009
Eva Green stars as Miss G, a free-spirited teacher at a posh bearding school for girls, where she enjoys the adoration of her young pupils who lap up every word of her tales of adventure beyond the school's walls. The arrival of a young Spanish girl, however, upsets her applecart, and the titular cracks start to show...
Green is amazing as Miss G. As beautiful and as graceful as she is throughout, she effortlessly conveys Klaus Kinski levels of craziness with a mere roll of her eyes and her metamorphosis as the film progresses manages to be both subtle and frightening. The younger members of the cast are no less impressive, as is the direction by Jordan (daughter of Ridley) Scott in a very impressive debut feature.
Brilliant and highly recommended.
