The Apartment Audience Reviews

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
tylerjac-590-218503 Movies are made to be entertaining- not true to life documentaries. Gee, give it a break people! When you disparage the whole premise..... as non believable.... did you ever watch King Kong? Tarzan? Star Wars? E.T. ? ETC.? ETC. ?All movies are entertainment pieces, that's why we go to see them. To be entertained! Not taught a reality lesson. The acting was impeccable. It was cute. It was funny. It was sad.It was ENJOYABLE!Movies are for people to ESCAPE REALITY- not wallow in it.This is a FIVE STAR MOVIE ALL DAY LONG!
adonis98-743-186503 A man tries to rise in his company by letting its executives use his apartment for trysts, but complications and a romance of his own ensue. The Apartment has 2 talented actors as it's main 2 protagonists unfortunately the same can not be said about it's terrible pacing and just god-awful of a script and story that is neither interesting or just remotely fun and nice. The film also is a bit too long than it should and that has turned into a big issue for me since i started watching all those bad movies that IMDb has listed as good on their list of 250.... (0/10)
Yashua Kimbrough (jimniexperience) Intelligently written and beautifully shot; The Apartment follows a gullible pushover C.C. getting taken advantage of for his apartment which is located in a prime nightlife side of town. He keeps his head down and his mouth shut , fore he seeks promotions with his apartment hustle. Eventually the head boss catches wind of his scheme - and promotes C.C. to the top position , in exchange to use the apartment to screw the woman C.C. secretly loves at his job.Great framing , all wide shots no close-ups. Excellent use of supporting/background characters (the doc, the neighbors, some lower-level employees, head boss mistress secretary, biker brother-in-law) . Overall great experience of how cinema once was8.5/10 - It's aged but it aged well
Smoreni Zmaj Many consider this movie to be one of the best of all times. I wouldn't go that far, but it certainly is evergreen classic. Billy Wilder well deserved all three Oscars he won, for best movie, best screenplay and best directing. Movie won five Oscars out of ten nominations. Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine will mesmerize you with combination of drama, comedy and romance. This is one beautiful movie that everyone should see.9/10
