The Innocents Ratings & Reviews
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
It's really good.
Tampa Bay Newspapers
Lee Zumpe
The young actors portraying these kids all deliver unexpectedly extraordinary performances. The group epitomizes a generation growing up utterly detached and subdivided.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Vogt brings out the ugliness of childhood... and ramps it up with endless malice that slowly builds to horrific action.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Sophistication. Depth. And an appreciation for old-fashioned emotion and unexpected heroism. It's hard to frame The Innocents as a feel-good movie, but there's much in it that's ennobling as well as disturbing, and satisfyingly weird.
Polygon
Tasha Robinson
Mesmerizing because of its particular take on the banality of evil.
Digital Trends
A.A. Dowd
It's straightforward to a fault, with all the intrigue of a cookie-cutter superhero origin story.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
The Innocents is a sophisticated and scary film that shines with authentic anger and unexpected empathy for its creepy kids.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A complex piece of storytelling, both visually and narratively.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
Vogt, with his second feature, has crafted a disturbing and original heart-pounder all his own, uncommonly attuned to the perspective of unsocialized prepubescents.
AV Club
Luke Y. Thompson
Childhood is hard, and childhood grudges run harder. The Innocents pulls no punches in turning that fact into horror.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
[An] uncannily atmospheric movie...
IndieWire
Christian Zilko
That restraint suggests that The Innocents could have been a disaster in the hands of mediocre child actors. Fortunately, that is not a concern in the slightest. The highlight of the film is undeniably its cast of actors under the age of 12.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
One of the best and most honest portraits of what it's like to be a kid in a dangerous world. Its young cast is shockingly terrific.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
It resists sensationalism while suggesting that the world of children is far more powerful, morally complex and violent than adults are even aware of, a notion both terrifying and fascinating.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
The acting by the children is outstanding, and Vogt certainly puts an original twist on the hidden-powers trope. But wow, parts of it are tough going.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
The Innocents is a provocative look at the fine razor line between good and evil and the darker side to innocence. The emotional authenticity heightens the horror, creating one of the most viscerally disturbing depictions of childhood in recent memory.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Disturbing, intelligent and held together by a young cast of jaw-droppingly talented actors, The Innocents is a hard film to shake, but at its core one drenched in a spirit of respect for children and their autonomy that is far too rare.
Slant Magazine
Wes Greene
The Innocents adopts a slasher-esque vibe that, however airlessly aestheticized, feels lurid for the sake of being lurid.
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
The lonely, uncanny and sometimes unthinkingly violent world of childhood is explored with chilling candor and exceptional skill in writer-director Eskil Vogt's arthouse horror feature The Innocents.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
This superior chiller is both a satisfying genre exercise and a minute observation of the process by which young children acquire morality...
