Cracks

When a beautiful, headstrong, asthmatic, aristocratic student (María Valverde) arrives at an isolated English boardinghouse from Spain in the 1920s in this compelling, well-acted, 2009 film highlighted by gorgeous cinematography and scenery, it causes jealousy and resentment among a bullying student (Juno Temple) and her followers (Imogen Poots, Ellie Nunn, Adele McCann, Clemmie Dugdale, and Zoe Carroll) and problems for the fair-minded headmistress (Helen Norton), stern teachers (Sinéad Cusack, Barbara Adair, et al.), and the mysterious, buddy-buddy swim coach (Eva Green).
