3/5

Budgetary constraints occasionally tell, particularly during crowd scenes, but the bad old days have seldom looked grimmer.

4/5

Although some licence has been used, this fictionalised version of the Kerry Babies case covers one of the most pivotal points in modern Irish history. Sometimes it is well worth looking back to see just how far we have come.

3/5

As a piece of documentary dramatic recreation, Out of Innocence is meticulous and mesmerising, but as artful storytelling, it is less successful.

2.5/5

In terms of importance, the film ranks highly. This is a story that should be known, told and discussed. The execution however, doesn't hit the same mark and it feels quite drawn out.

Out of Innocence puts its own harrowing spin on false truths.

3/5

Out of Innocence is a rather stilted film dramatically, sometimes clumsily written, but it's an education for anyone unfamiliar with this depressing case, and a window into a happily vanished Ireland.

Fascinating story of the "Kerry Babbies" tribunal in 1980's Ireland. Accents not too hard to understand. Well paced and acted. Watched on our libraries Kanopy service.
