5.0 out of 5 stars The apple that bit back, 17 Jun 2005
By A Customer
I believe that this movie is the debut film of Samira Makhmalbaf. The entire movie of 'The Apple' is fascinating, yes some would say slow in parts and infuriating in others but riveting viewing none the less. The story line comes over as slightly disturbing but well thought out, witty and intelligent. Initially it looks like a docu-drama and I guess that is the role of this film, in a place where social statements and the plight of women are kept under wraps.
One of the coolest things about this feature is it is based on a true story and the characters are played by themselves.
Brilliant! It's a welcome change from the Hollywood garbage we are subjected to.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent and very interesting, worth a watch, 22 Feb 2007
i watched this whilst i was studying film studies at college and i found this very interesting to watch and as its a true story it really shows you how other people in the world live. it shows the two sisters themselves no actresses to play them, and how they live their life at 12years old. being locked up by their father they have developed language problems and find it difficult to understand others and speak. it is documentary like but very interesting and i would definitely recommend.
