Wall Street Journal

Mar 16, 2023

Few caper comedies have this much heart, and few romantic dramas offer such an appealingly nutty plot.

By Kyle Smith FULL REVIEW

Little White Lies

Aug 23, 2023

Altogether, the Innocent is a relatively low stakes story of ordinary people doing humbly ridiculous if fairly illegal things – and all the more charming for it.

By Saskia Lloyd Gaiger FULL REVIEW

Mar 3, 2023

The Innocent is quirky, touching, and well-played fun.

By Glenn Kenny FULL REVIEW

Mar 2, 2023

The innocent, it turns out, isn’t a single character but the person inside us all, playing at the version of ourselves we’d rather be.

By Greg Nussen FULL REVIEW

Apr 6, 2023

This film is a slightly slipperier customer than a topline summary would suggest, with tonal shifts that shouldn’t work, but somehow do.

By Catherine Bray FULL REVIEW

Aug 22, 2023

The result, if you can get past some of its absurdities, is a slight, enjoyable, lightweight jaunt. Just don’t expect anything more.

Mar 2, 2023

This likeable, terribly contrived charmer is helped by a game cast that almost gets away clean, ultimately hampered by a script that impishly (but not always confidently) switches between tones.
