The Innocents – 6.8

For me, this was too much of the same thing. It was beautifully shot – one of those films you remember as black-and-white, even though it was in color, with every other shot framed like a painting, a Vermeer or Hammershoi or Tooker. The lead actress was easy on the eyes, but the nuns all looked the same and the attempts to differentiate their stories didn’t amount to anything dramatically. When I saw the trailer I felt I’d seen the whole movie, and seeing the whole movie didn’t change this.
