DVD Review: Good Drama
Summary: 4 Stars
Return to Innocence is a film produced and directed entirely from the OC (Orange County) with a low budget, in black and white, in 2001, but was released recently (May 2007.). It's director Rocky Costanzo tries to portray one of those controversial and taboo topics, child molestation and sexual abuse.
The main two characters, Dr. Glen Erskine, is a PH.D. in clinical psychology, specializing in the area of man and boy relationships, and pedophiles. He is an expert, and published extensively, about whether a man can have a loving and caring relationship with a boy, raising eyebrows and causing him to be suspicious of pedophile. Dr. Erskine is a member of the New Horizons, a home that houses troubled teens awarded to them by the court.
Tommy, (Andrew Martin), is a troubled teen who has been abused since early life (his mother.) He has consensual sex with one of Dr. Erskin counselor (Tommy's counselor.) After learning of this, Dr. Erskin confronts the counselor and he dies of a suicidal attempt. Tommy becomes very upset, and in his anger he accuses Dr. Erskin of molesting him. Because of circumstantial events between Dr. Erskin and Tommy as part of the treatment, he looks real bad in the eyes of the law.
There is a trial of Dr. Erskin and he is defended by a long time friend (since he is a boy) Jim (Steve De Forest). Jim proves that his friend Glen is not guilty. At the end, Tommy breaks down and admits that he had fabricated the whole thing.
Return to Innocence is a term used in which even if someone is absolved from a child molestation crime, that person still labeled and branded for the rest of their life, meaning can not return to innocence. Dr. Esrkin return to his practice at New Horizons (he was suspended during the trial.) Tommy is placed in a loving foster home.
Return to Innocence is a good drama, the actors are admirable and realistic in their acting. The issues are troubled and controversial, but a sadness of reality, of sick and disturbing minds. It is a low budget movie with no big movie fanfare. There is some special features of a reunion of all the main characters in May 2007.
