About
If you enjoy dreamy, uneasy coming-of-age stories with striking visuals, Innocence may work for you; Not for you if you need a clear plot, want fast pacing, or prefer straightforward horror, like The Intruder or Long Day's Journey Into Night.
Pros: beautiful atmosphere; haunting mood; memorable imagery | Cons: slow pace; unclear purpose; divisive content
