The Innocents 15

From the screenwriter of Oscar-nominated The Worst Person in the World comes The Innocents, a brilliantly inventive and subversive thriller. Over the bright Norwegian summer holidays, four schoolchildren become close friends. Out of sight of the nearby adults, they discover that they possess hidden, potentially dangerous, powers. Exploring their newfound abilities in the nearby forests and playgrounds, innocents play takes a turn towards something more sinister, as the children unearth the terrifying potential of their power.

A chilling and unsettling thriller, The Innocents acknowledges both the curiosity and cruelty of childhood. Led by exceptional performances from its young cast – all of whom are under the age of 12 – this is a remarkable film from an exciting and accomplished filmmaker.
