Cracks (2009)
Short review: "Cracks" gives a look at the lives and relationships among girls and one of their teachers at an elite 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. It marks the feature debut of Jordan Scott, Ridley Scott's daughter, and it's obvious, she already possesses exceptional ability of how to command the camera and to shoot with a style. The plot and characters are deep and rich and incredibly colorful. The actresses are all flawless, especially Eva as the mysterious and silently crazy Miss. G, and Maria Valverde as the beautiful and sophisticated Fiamma. Juno Temple was impressive as the jealous and evilicious Di, as well. In technical terms, "Cracks" is also a winner - the cinematography is simply superb, the costumes are beautiful, and the music score is classy. Overall, "Cracks" has its flaws and it's far from amazing, but it's beautifully-executed, nicely-acted, and an above average debut from Ridley Scott's talented daughter, Jordan.
