tMF | The Movie-Fanatic

I can't help but immediately follow my post on Tanner Hall with Jordan Scott's Cracks. Both films prominently feature lead female actors. Both films explore different relationships, sexuality and coming-of-age. While Tanner Hall features younger actresses, Cracks features an impressive list of up and coming talents - Eva Green, Juno Temple, Maria Valverde and Imogen Poots.

Screen Daily's Mike Goodridge wrote an extensive profile of the film and said:

The film follows a group of girls at the school all in the thrall of free-thinking and glamorous young teacher Miss G (Eva Green) who encourages them to indulge their desires, flout the establishment and, suggesting a world of adventures in her own past, pursue a life of independence and travel. She teaches them diving at the nearby lake, and the group composes the school dive team, not that they ever compete with other schools. Chief among the students is Di Radfield (Juno Temple), who is closest to Miss G and hangs on her every word. This status quo is disrupted by the arrival at the school and in the group of a new girl from Spain. Fiamma (Maria Valverde) is from an aristocratic family, impossibly beautiful and worldly and a superb diver. Fiamma immediately provokes resentment from the girls, especially Di, but Miss G takes to her with a passion laced with both lust and envy. [ read more ]
