Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Innocents is a powerful, brave film that will stay with you for days.
– Ellen Brait,
Globe and Mail,
15 Jul 2016
fresh:
The ghastliness of this situation has its black comic aspects, but director Anne Fontaine keeps everything on an even keel -- too even.
– Peter Rainer,
Christian Science Monitor,
15 Jul 2016
fresh:
Shot in artful, quiet light (many of the frames look like elegant paintings), "The Innocents" is beautifully performed by its nearly all-female cast; each nun, even those unnamed, is given her own personality and story.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,
28 Jul 2016
fresh:
Fontaine ("Gemma Bovary," "Coco Before Chanel") has just the right touch. There is no melodrama here, simply women of faith living day to day.
– Bill Goodykoontz,
Arizona Republic,

fresh:
Director and co-writer Anne Fontaine makes every shot and every exchange count in her tender but penetrating exploration of sisterhood in a brutal world.
