Cracks

About This Movie

Cracks is an interesting blend of comedy and tension. It really plays with the idea of cultural misunderstandings—this bourgeois couple, so caught up in their own world, faces a reality that’s completely foreign to them. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it kind of mirrors the couple’s escalating panic, which works well. The performances are grounded, and it’s fascinating to see how the locals react, adding layers to the comedic misunderstandings. The atmosphere shifts from comedic to tense rather quickly, and while it’s not a grand production, there’s a certain charm in its simplicity. It’s those little moments that stick out, lending an air of authenticity to the chaos that unfolds.
