Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 16, 2002

Offers a moving tribute to love and the courage its risk-taking requires.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 11, 2001

Innocence is remarkable in several big ways that make it possible to overlook the nagging little ways in which it doesn't succeed.

| Oct 28, 2001

It's about grown-ups and for grown-ups.

| Oct 25, 2001

Because the script has them lovey-dovey from beginning to bittersweet end, their story is fatally lacking in dramatic conflict.

Full Review | Oct 25, 2001

At first, the setup and Mr. Cox's lyricism are intriguing, but he has little to say once the wheels start turning.

Full Review | Oct 18, 2001

The windy passages about life, love, time and whatnot are meant not to be spoken but reverentially intoned.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 12, 2001

Dares to explore sexuality among mature characters.

Conflicting emotions give the film a genuine and warming sense of humanity.

| Sep 28, 2001

Cox keeps burdening [Blake and Tingwell] with lines that come to sound less like credible dialogue than windy rhetoric.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 28, 2001

Films that achieve the dimension of seraphic embrace achieved by Innocence, as it explores a return to first love, are the rarest of the rare.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 28, 2001

This movie is so wise about love it makes us wonder what other love stories think they are about.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 17, 2001

If there's a more passionate love story out there, then I haven't had the privilege of seeing it.

Full Review | Sep 13, 2001

Innocence 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.

| Sep 7, 2001

A beautiful, almost defiant film on an unusual subject: love among the elderly.

Full Review | Sep 6, 2001

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

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 31, 2001

It has the right performers for a character-driven romance, and the near-uniqueness of its screen concerns ultimately nudges you into its corner.

| Aug 17, 2001

A moving and persuasive argument that the urgency for all-encompassing love only grows in the autumn of life, rather than diminishes.
