Cracks

“Cracks” is a small story writ very large. With its shadowy interiors and shots of faces in the grip of obsession, it verges on a horror film. - NyTimes

Jordan Scott, daughter of renowned director Sir Ridley Scott, makes her dazzling feature film debut with an erotically charged period drama based on a novel by Sheila Kohler.

Under the guidance and liberating force of their bohemian teacher, Miss G (Eva Green), the lives of six boarding school girlfriends devolves into tribalistic hedonism when a new student upsets the balance of their class. PartPrime of Miss Jean Brodie and part Lord of the Flies, Scott’s spectacularly filmed first feature includes breathtaking cinematography and breakout performances from a talented young ensemble, who move from sultry to sinister in the blink of an eye.
