The Innocents

I personally wouldn’t recommend this film… regardless of artistic license for a horror movie, which it is… if you like cats, do not watch this, completely disgusting and unnecessary! Btw… I stopped watching it as soon as I saw what might happen the cat… having read the plot later, I’m glad I turned this horrible film off!

I cannot praise this film enough. Very slow, but be patient because it delivers an amazing story. The child actors are stunning, Alva Brysmo Ramstad is outstanding, forget the flaccid Oscars, this is what brilliant acting is about, not showy bullshit "performance" but natural, engaging and in this case chilling. It captures the cruelty, viscousness and innocence, hence the title, of what it is to be a child. I highly recommend this movie, one of the best I have seen this year.

Quietly powerful, affecting and very well acted by the young cast. It didn't fully explain some aspects such the reason for their abilities but maybe that made it all the more mysterious. It stayed with me long after I'd watched it, which is often the mark of an excellent movie.

The plot was tense enough to hold my attention but the ending scene with a frickin' vortex of little blonde haired blue eyed nordic children solemnly watching as two of their own murder a brown boy is just a bit too questionable for my taste given the general attitude toward immigrants in the nordics.

Was an entertaining movie. The only thing that keeps this at 3 stars vs higher is the fact the plot did not explain how all of these kids acquired their special gifts. I get you need to have a certain suspension of disbelief when watching certain movies but c'mon. How exactly did these kids get these abilities? Just seems they could have explained something,.

Utter garbage. Unrelentingly annoying. Repulsive.

Unnecessary animal cruelty scenes. Otherwise great acting by the children.

There’s underlying terror towards unfathomable power with grappling complication at youthful hands, pressurizing their moral innocence in a form of test adjacent to their livelihoods. This sort of supernatural phenomenon is a continuous trope with effective impact now dated and differentiated elsewhere, leaving only narrative intrigue that requires subversion for true potential. There must’ve been a promise surrounding whatever compel this film gave, only to find it as a rehashed routine more-so aimed towards the eponymous target under thematic enlightenment. Effectively subverted in further twisting the shared phenomena amidst a broader suggestion that seems to fit more naturally rooted and well-embraced intuitively under performative acknowledgement to progress such storyline.

Wonderful child actors in this film, which is NOT for little children. Great direction and cinematography in the telling of this unusual tale.

A premissa de que autistas possuem poderes especiais, sempre teve boas histórias de terror, como King por exemplo em seus livros. A trama é interessante, mas a edição é cansativa. A atuação das crianças são muito boas, especialmente a que faz Anna. O fim, não tem um climax, mas satisfaz.
