"Innocence" is a tense, engaging depiction of a love triangle between a woman (Julia Blake) who slowly drifts out of her 20-year marriage to her husband (Terry Norris) when an old boyfriend (Charles Tingwell) comes back into her life after a long separation and again declares his love for her.

Critics Consensus

Not only does it break ground in presenting a rarely examined age group, Innocence is a well-acted, powerful story about love.

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

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

I wanted to like this film more than I did. Too many of the scenes seemed disjointed, and there was no sense of what the relationships between the characters had been in their youths. The son seemed totally disinterested. None of the characters seemed to be relating to each other.

An understated, heartbreaking Australian masterpiece that is criminally underappreciated, Paul Cox's Innocence is a film so confidently directed and exceptionally acted that it's almost guaranteed to wear you down. A beautiful film.
