John Mount

Makhmalbaf's impeccable feature-film debut is a witty and precociously intelligent docudrama.

A little bit of Hollywood might have spiced up this fascinating -- but maddeningly slow -- true story.

Peter Stack

Veracity is undermined by the very idea that the subjects somehow are actors in their own story -- and yet The Apple is still quite touching.

At once an effulgent exercise in life-affirmation and a bemusingly crude piece of exploitative filmmaking.

Doris Toumarkine

Samira Makhmalbaf was only 18 when she made The Apple, but it is a surprisingly mature, assured piece of work.

Jeff Vice

As that old axiom goes, truth is stranger than fiction. Unless, of course, the fiction in question is one that's based on some very strange truths.

Ed Scheid

The film would be more effective if, instead of covering just one day, it focused on the enduring effects of the girls' isolation.
