Alexandra Heller-Nicholas The Blue Lenses The Innocents [is] a strong instance of a movie that - if made by a male director - may have lost some of its thematic punch, particularly in regards to the nuanced and often subtle relationships between the film's primarily female cast. Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) [Fontaine] retains her knack for keeping the viewer guessing about what she might be up to Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 28, 2017 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian It builds to something quite remarkable. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 28, 2017 Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film The Innocents is a challenging movie, both in tone and pace. It is a film that demands your patience, yet finds a way to keep you waiting for just one moment of happiness. Feb 27, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies By the end it was clear to me that no character’s innocence would remain intact, but even the smallest light can offer a glimmer of hope. The film helps us remember that. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Curve Staff Curve The Innocents is recommended, if confronting viewing, and it’s a film that should remain with its audience for a considerable time.
