reception

Florian Keller praised the film in the WOZ as being quieter, more mature and bolder than the previous film by Jaquemets Chrieg . In particular, he highlighted the film's “grandiose final image”.

Simone Meier praised the “amazingly grotesque entertainment” on the Watson portal and described the previous work Chrieg as more spectacular, but The Innocent was “much more crazy”.

Christof Schelb described the film on the outnow portal as “a little too long”, but at the same time praised Jaquemet's play with the viewer.

In his review for the media association CH Media, Dario Pollice highlighted the performance of the leading actress Judith Hofmann and described her as the “cinema discovery of the year”.

Selim Petersen described the film on the Swiss television website as "even more radical, even more subjective, even more challenging" than Jaquemet's previous film.

Roland Streit from the evangelical media service Livenet criticized the portrayal of charismatic Christianity and asked the rhetorical question: “One wonders what the film is trying to achieve - besides conveying blatant clichés; and where is it stimulated to really think about it, because it doesn't provide a striking answer? "
