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." Read full review

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

James Berardinelli

The movie's realistic portrayal of the ingredients that can lead to bullying and other forms of unkindness inflicted on outsiders by those in power, speaks strongly to viewers watching in the 21st century. Read full review

May not appeal to every taste, but it marks an arresting feature debut for Jordan Scott, a director who is well worth watching. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

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?" Read full review

Boxoffice Magazine Mark Keizer

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

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. EvaThis 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.… Expand

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?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A moody sensual film exploring passions at a girls boarding school. Ms Green does well with the confused lead character. There is no depth to why she is as she is. The sexual relationship borders on the creepy as the girls figure to be early to mid-teens. The story is predictable so the acting must win out. It almost does, but not quite. It is two films. the first half is spirited, open; the sexual tension on the surface. But I feel what is coming. The letter half becomes dark as the real Miss G comes out. I did not feel empathetic towards her just that she should be locked up before doing harm, but alas too late. The girls perfectly played with just a touch of Lord Of The Flies. C-… Expand
