Not so much surprised, more like absolutely delighted. I hope you will build on those comments in time because you may have come away from the film with a completely different train of thought than I did. 

I held from reading any comments or reviews until I had watched Innocence and was more than a little surprised at some of the remarks from amateur and professional critics alike. To be fair, the most disparaging have come from the UK (at least from the ones I've read) but I don't think its had a proper US release yet.

I watched it twice in two days and I know I will watch it again soon, hopefully with at least one or two of my sons (if they can handle the pacing).

Cheers Trev.

P.S Happy Birthday John.
