Fontaine ("Gemma Bovary," "Coco Before Chanel") has just the right touch. There is no melodrama here, simply women of faith living day to day.May 02, 2017

An utterly graceful film about an almost graceless time.July 15, 2016
The ghastliness of this situation has its black comic aspects, but director Anne Fontaine keeps everything on an even keel -- too even.April 28, 2017
With gorgeous cinematography by Caroline Champetier and memorably unsentimental performances... Fontaine's film is neither anti-religion nor pro-science but, instead, about compassion, mercy and forgivenes.July 28, 2016
Shot in artful, quiet light (many of the frames look like elegant paintings), "The Innocents" is beautifully performed by its nearly all-female cast; each nun, even those unnamed, is given her own personality and story.
