[Fontaine] retains her knack for keeping the viewer guessing about what she might be up to

An utterly graceful film about an almost graceless time.

With gorgeous cinematography by Caroline Champetier and memorably unsentimental performances... Fontaine's film is neither anti-religion nor pro-science but, instead, about compassion, mercy and forgivenes.
May 02, 2017
Shot through with winter tones and a solemn contemplation that evokes religious art, The Innocents evokes the struggle for spiritual survival.

It builds to something quite remarkable.
July 28, 2016
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.
May 02, 2017
The Innocents may be understandably solemn in mood and sober in approach, but it's illuminating in probing the minutiae of resilience amidst the unexpected and the horrific.
November 07, 2016
An emotionally involving rather than harrowing film, with scenes as beautiful as oil paintings.
July 15, 2016
The ghastliness of this situation has its black comic aspects, but director Anne Fontaine keeps everything on an even keel -- too even.
July 15, 2016
The Innocents is a powerful, brave film that will stay with you for days.
July 29, 2016
Fontaine ("Gemma Bovary," "Coco Before Chanel") has just the right touch. There is no melodrama here, simply women of faith living day to day.
August 04, 2016
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.
