"The Innocents" is not just a beautiful indie film, it is a beautiful film period. Indie films rarely match the visual quality that Hollywood can purchase. But what indie films lack in millions of dollars for production design they make up for in story, character and a passion for life. This is exactly how The Innocents gets under your skin and moves you the way most films only strive to do. I will not give away any of the plot here, but will only say what could have become cheap cliche in a story about two girls searching for the deeper meaning of life becomes anti-cliche (if there is such a thing) and remains an original, compelling story throughout it's hour and half running time. Kudos to the artists who brought this one to the screen. I heard some of their Q&A afterward and know what a journey they themselves undertook to bring it to life. ****
