Review of Cracks (2007) by Michaël G — 21 Apr 2012

"The most important thing in life is desire. You can achieve anything you want. The world is yours for the taking. Nothing is impossible for you, my girls. All you need is to desire it."- Miss G.

I was actually looking for a teenage flick film just to lighten my mood, and I found this film, however, it's far from what I've expected. The treatment of the film can be compared to those critical acclaimed films. The plot centered on a social issue that deviates from the standard of the society but is not uncommon in films. Cracks tackles a difficult and sensitive issue that others might find odd to discuss even on our present time.

I really like how the setting sets the atmosphere, but it's the acting that I like the most. The leads(Eva Green, Maria Valverde & Juno Temple) was able to successfully channel their roles. It's so good that I can't help but to had goosebumps with the tension among the characters. It's a film that's quite disturbing and even the ending will leave you hanging with questions. I'm not hundred percent sure if the novel(which it was based to by Sheila Kohler)has the answers though I think it would still be a good read.

This motion picture is highly recommended for anyone whose into idiosyncratic stories.
