The simmering rivalry between Di and Fiamma, inflamed by the kind of glimpsed indiscretion that makes adolescent melodramas tick, explodes in a thriller ending that turns an observant coming-of-age story into something resembling "The Lord of the Flies."

Cracks stumbles down the stretch, when the melodrama finally washes in and the behavior becomes more extreme.

This movie turned out to be pretty disturbing at times. Especially the part where Miss G is molesting Fiamma. And where all the girls go skinny dipping. Although, that part is pretty enjoyable at the same time. The film is not as dramatic as I thought it would be. But the acting is nice. Eva Green is pretty good. As well as Juno Temple. My only acting complaint is on the acting of Imogen Poots. Her acting is the weakest and her character's attitude makes it easy for you to hate her. Overall, I enjoyed the film. But, it is a bit too slow and rare for most viewers.

The movie had a great cinematography and a good acting performance by Eva Green, but it was also incredibly boring and nonsensical. When the movie ends, it leaves you wondering what was the point of the movie? What were the filmmakers trying to achieve?

In many ways Cracks is lurid and rickety. But its gripping ensemble performances lend it an emotional intensity that outweighs its shortcomings.

While Scott's movie has a consistent aura, it lacks a consistent tone. What are we to make of the movie, gauzy as a mist-shrouded lake and brutal as "Lord of the Flies?"

Scott excels in maintaining a low, persistent hum of eroticism whose purpose is not titillation or camp.

Alas, the hopelessly miscast Green is too darn French, lacking the voraciously loony brio it takes to play Miss G.
