Confronts the line between the celebration and the exploitation of innocence with an uneasy tension that is discomforting at best.
Hadzihalilovic succeeds brilliantly at crafting a meaningful enigma that somehow grasps the essence of adolescence, but only grows more mysterious with each revelation.
This is the weirdest film I've seen all year, or at least the weirdest good film. It's also among the most powerful.
A visually lush and eerily enigmatic parable of female sexuality, Lucile Hadzihalilovic's ominous fairy tale raises questions you'll be wondering about for days.
The Oxford English Dictionary says that an allegory is "an extended or continued metaphor." And to think that this definition was coined when a French film called Innocence was still very far in the future! But how aptly this film proves the point.
The more overtly allegorical Innocence becomes, the duller it gets.
