Résumés(1)
Dazzling debut from Jordan Scott (daughter of legendary director Ridley Scott), stars Eva Green as the mesmerizing Miss G, a liberating force in a staid but idyllic British boarding school. The story follows a clique of six girls whose dynamic is thrown off kilter by the arrival of a beautiful new Spanish student Fiamma. The hazy summer days by the lake provide the perfect setting for Fiamma's wild and intriguing tales of her travels in India with her father. Miss G is captivated but it's not long before ripples appear on the surface and the cracks beneath emerge in the relationship between teacher and pupil. (StudioCanal UK)

The main attraction of this film is Eva Green. She looks quite confident on the poster, but in reality she is a mentally terribly unbalanced person, whose character develops absolutely brutally throughout the film. Eva Green was also the main reason why I went to see the film. Otherwise, it’s mostly a film for women, because you hardly see a single guy playing there. But as I guy myself, I have to say that it was palatable.

This is not an uncertain directorial debut where one walks cautiously on tiptoes. It actually looks like another woman director with courage (after Bigelow) who is not afraid to convey a clear message to the audience. Cracks boast fantastic performances, dominated by the mentally torn and complex Eva Green, who gradually reveals herself as a deranged harpy capable of absolutely anything, shedding her philosophically charged modern teacher persona. The excellently written, vivid supporting characters and the artful British small-town setting with appropriately extravagant natural scenery are a delight. It has the right ingredients and, although predictable, the ending is very well executed.
