Reviews for Innocence
A rich and satisfying film that ignores Hollywood taboos about ‘old love.’
09/19/01
This movie is so wise about love it makes us wonder what other love stories think they are about.
09/17/01
Top CriticWhat hurt Innocence for me is its needlepointed explicitness.
09/14/01
If there's a more passionate love story out there, then I haven't had the privilege of seeing it.
09/13/01
Top CriticInnocence has all the other ingredients, too: a marvelous cast, a touching story, some lovely camera work (shot on location in South Australia and Belgium) and a palpable emotional connection between its characters and its audience.
09/07/01
Cox, who continues to defy the Hollywood way by making movies with older performers, mines the extraordinary from the ordinary, and the result is one of the most original and touching films of the year.
09/06/01
A beautiful, almost defiant film on an unusual subject: love among the elderly.

Top CriticA film that unabashedly affirms the age-transcending power of love.
09/01/01
A complex, fully rounded portrait of two people whose sensuality and ardor is neither dampened nor cheapened by their age.

Even if the idea behind Innocence outweighs its execution, it's hard to get angry at a film that embraces that.

Top CriticCox should be commended for his courage in tackling such a difficult subject -- and doing it with the grace, humanity and realism that it deserves.

It has the right performers for a character-driven romance, and the near-uniqueness of its screen concerns ultimately nudges you into its corner.
08/17/01
Top CriticIt is a movie to treasure.
08/17/01
A moving and persuasive argument that the urgency for all-encompassing love only grows in the autumn of life, rather than diminishes.
08/17/01
Top CriticMostly mediocre melodrama.
08/17/01
Top CriticArguably the best film about adultery since Brief Encounter.
