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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
