Movies Watched -- The Innocents (2021)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In Norwegian. 117 minute running time so 17 minutes too long, but this wasn’t bad. I liked the odd mix of council housing kids, is Norway really that ethnically diverse now? I guess in the subsidized housing it is. Cute story, no idea why it’s pitched as “a violent nightmare,” or “shocking,” it’s simply clever and cute. I almost want to give it a green-go rating, but it’s not that good … this was a John Farr reco: “An intentionally strange and effectively creepy film, horror fans in particular should seek out ‘The Innocents.’”
