Cracks Ratings & Reviews
Autostraddle
Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
It captivates; it traps. [Jordan] Scott's direction heightens the movie's themes of loneliness, power, and abuse.
FilmsInReview.com
Victoria Alexander
The story twists beautifully and shockingly. The ending is brilliant. Skillfully directed by Jordan Scott.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
"Cracks" is a moody, often lurid tale of rivalry and repression.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Although Green is the sort of actress you can't take your eyes off , her presence is not enough to keep this movie from becoming mired in a slow and predictable rut.
Film Threat
Matthew Sorrento
Along with Fiamma's shift, we can't buy a miscast Eva Green, whose teacher begins the film faultless and finishes looking like The Turn of the Screw's governess.
Playback:stl
Sarah Boslaugh
,,,sometimes seems too obvious, sometimes too opaque, and frequently leaves you guessing as to whether some episode has a deeper meaning or was just tossed out there to keep things moving.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
"Cracks" is a bit of a knock-off, but it's a sturdily assembled vessel for a promising director and cast.
Philadelphia Daily News
Molly Eichel
Temple shines as Di. Her round face and large eyes convey almost as much as her dialogue.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
While Scott's movie has a consistent aura, it lacks a consistent tone.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Driven more by characters and relationships than narrative, Cracks explores the exclusionary power of cliques that develop within a closed society, the single-minded violence of the mob mentality, and the seductive charm of the charismatic individual.
Paste Magazine
Sean Gandert
Cracks only strays from the boarding school genre's playbook when it's entering questionable territory, making for a picture that's easily forgettable except in its disappointments.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Scott deservedly follows in the footsteps of her father while Temple and Green deliver unforgettably striking performances. If only it weren't for that damn script.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
"Cracks" recalls any number of girls-school dramas, like the much better "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (1969).
New York Times
Stephen Holden
In many ways "Cracks" is lurid and rickety. But its gripping ensemble performances lend it an emotional intensity that outweighs its shortcomings.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Worth seeing just to watch Ms. Green ride that teacher right off the rails.
Los Angeles Times
Sam Adams
The pieces never form a convincing, or coherent, whole.
AV Club
Noel Murray
For much of Cracks' first two-thirds, Scott and company avoid the obvious melodramatic beats and just let the story unfold, even as the narrative shifts its attention from character to character.
Observer
Rex Reed
There is so little dialogue of any significance that I can't figure out why the film is credited with three screenwriters, but Ms. Scott knows what to do with the camera to show dark psychological forces at work...
Village Voice
Ella Taylor
All of which is heavy-breathing fun until an ill-judged lapse into Lord of the Flies territory and a Jean Rhys-ian climax all but bury the message about the evils of repression.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
The film unfolds primarily as a case study of both a vaguely fascistic individual and a group subject to that individual's magnetism.
