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.
Makhmalbaf elicits remarkably unaffected performances.
an allegory of Iran's longed-for emergence from repressive tradition into a more liberating modernity (especially for women).
Es un cine fundamental, básico y humano que enriquece la diversidad que siempre deberían mostrarnos las pantallas.
Presents a severe critique of the continued shabby treatment of women in patriarchial societies.
Makhmalbaf's impeccable feature-film debut is a witty and precociously intelligent docudrama.
Audience Reviews for The Apple
Samira Makhmalbaf was only 17 when she made this impressive exposé of such a revolting real story and of the blatant gender inequality in Iran - and it is really shocking to see that those girls were sent home by the social worker after being discovered in such deplorable conditions.
Super Reviewer
The Apple it's one of the exemples that show to us how terrific is the Iran cinema.
