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

In its own quiet way, Makhmalbaf's auspicious feature debut echoes [a] sense of rebellion not only against such sexual discrimination, but also against all forms of inequality and injustice.

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.

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.

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

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.

This tiny, alternately simple and complex movie is fascinating on a number of levels.

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