Cracks the debut feature from Jordan Scott, is based on a novel by Sheila Kohler.  It is a beautifully composed film, with a great atmosphere and setting.  The costumes were excellent, especially those of lead actress Eva Green, dressed wonderfully glamorously throughout the entire film.  However incredible the film was to look at, the story was just not captivating enough, and the strength of the rest of the young cast was average at best.

I must admit I do like Eva Green but this would not be for me I think.

I'm not sure a movie about a all girls school would interest me that much. At least, not if it's remotely realistic. Sexual segregation makes me raeg.
