Leave your thoughts about The Innocents.
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowCatches an eerie, spine-chilling mood right at the start and never lets up on its grim, evil theme. Director Jack Clayton makes full use of camera angles, sharp cutting, shadows, ghost effects and a sinister soundtrack. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA gripping psychological drama based on events more than half a century old, it has inescapable contemporary echoes. Laced with intensely emotional situations, it refuses to force the issue by pushing too hard. And it proves, yet again, that though moral and spiritual questions may not sound spellbinding they often provide the most absorbing movie experiences. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawClayton brilliantly uses slow dissolves to create ghostly superimpositions, and the harmless squeals of bath-time fun, or squeakings of a pencil, suggest uncanny screams. |
| The TelegraphTim RobeyThe film thrives on unsettling images of overgrowth and rot, such as the dead flower that drops at Kerr’s touch, and the beetle that crawls obscenely out of the mouth of a cherub statue. |
| Total FilmKevin HarleyThe heart-stopping climax offers no answers: just the lingering unease of uncertainty. |
| TV Guide MagazineMichael ScheinfeldThe Innocents manipulates the viewer's imagination as few films can, with Kerr and Redgrave doing a masterful job of creating a sense of repressed hysteria. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonClayton's filmmaking, mustering frisson by both candle and blazing daylight, could serve as an object lesson in its genre. |
| The A.V. ClubDavid EhrlichA ravishing neo-romantic takedown of Victorian repression, spooky and scathing in equal measure. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandAs much a film about crises of faith as it is the powerful friendships between women, The Innocents steadily unfolds over its nearly 120-minute runtime, revealing new secrets and new surprises (most of them, but not all, appropriately gut-wrenching) at every turn. |
| TheWrapClaudia PuigFontaine powerfully conveys the religious women’s inner torment, but with restraint, both visually and verbally. |
