Taken as a whole, Les Innocents was an interesting, albeit soap opera-ish, film brought down by its heavy-handed employ of crying, over sentimental scenes that bordered on being cringy.
I'd say, ratio wise, the move was about 95% brooding drama and 5% mystery. On Tubi, it's also listed as being a thriller. It wasn't. That would imply suspense and intrigue which there was very little of.
Acting was exemplary, though. I give the thespians that. The film was also interesting in its use of past and present transitions of characters and environment, so kudos for the editing and directing people for that.
In the end, is Les Innocents a must-see feature? Not really. It was just a tad more mature than a typical Hallmark production, but not by much.
