Critics' reviews

"As it stands, the film is so cynical and relentlessly bleak that it mostly succeeds at conveying a near-total indifference to the complexities of childhood experience (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Wes Greene: Slant
"Exceptional child performers and a superbly eerie yet gritty atmosphere distinguish this darkly satisfying art-house chiller."

Jessica Kiang: Variety
"A familiar horror movie made leaden by a slow pace and weak plotting"

Ben Kenigsberg: rogerebert.com
"Make no mistake: [it] is no young adult novel adaptation, and things get very dark very quickly (...) If 'The Innocents' tells us anything, it's that the subconscious is worth exploring, too"

Caroline Tsai: The Playlist
"There are glimpses of greatness (...) If only those moments were more than just reminders that 'The Innocents' was inspired by much better movies"

Rafael Motamayor: Collider
"As the tension escalates and the stakes get higher, with gruesome consequences for several of the principles, Vogt keeps the focus tight on the children throughout"

Leslie Felperin: The Hollywood Reporter
"It's undeniably well-executed as an arthouse genre piece, but not without leaving a considerable sour taste afterwards"

Alistair Ryder: The Film Stage
