Here is the most passionate and tender love story in many years, so touching because it is not about a story, not about stars, not about a plot, not about sex, not about nudity, but about LOVE itself.
This is a beautifully acted chamber piece --especially by the magnificent Blake, who is married to Norris in real life.
The originality of Innocence makes it stand apart from the romantic pack.
No situation could be more human, and it's one the youth-dominated film industry rarely touches.
The film never quite shakes its self-consciousness about just how special it is and that is a hindrance.
It's reassuring to see love and sex in one's 70s depicted as fully replenishing. At the same time, it's sobering to think that it's no easier in the twilight of life to make rational decisions regarding the heart.
It's all so overdetermined -- each encounter of the present-day lovers mirrors some moment from the long-ago day when they parted -- that it reduces their whole affair to a matter of last-minute revisionism.
