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.

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.
