Preview: Cracks (2011)

Synopsis:

At an all-girls school, a new student threatens to throw off the dynamic between several girls and their mysterious teacher.

• Poster: B-

Review:

The fractured image has been done to death and although the color palette is bland and uneventful, it's distracting enough to be notable.

• Trailer: A-

Review:

I love a good mystery and when a trailer gives a good teaser of the film's contents without revealing the more engaging elements, it works on a level that most give-them-everything previews don't.

Oscar Prospects:

This one is entirely sold to the Academy based on critic interest. Eva Green isn't an on-the-cusp Oscar darling, so the chances diminish quite a bit.

Release Date:
