Apartment, The (PG)

Apartment, The (PG)

Romance, Comedy, Drama

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 critical consensus

At times we’re just a whisker away from out-and-out tragedy. It’s a rare, brave comedy that’ll do that.

*****Kate Stables, Total Film, 13/06/2012

This really is a film of ever increasing returns.

*****Miles Fielder, The List, 13/06/2012

illy Wilder's The Apartment (1960) is a big-city satire with a romantic heart of gold: it's a welcome re-release, and for those who love the style of Mad Men, or Richard Yates's 1961 novel Revolutionary Road (and Sam Mendes's fine screen adaptation) it's a must.

*****Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14/06/2012

The more you see it, the more desperate the film becomes – yet you never tire of it.

*****Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 15/06/2012

In truth, The Apartment is a wise, sophisticated, grown-up work from a filmmaker who embodied all those qualities himself.

David Gritten, The Telegraph, 15/06/2012

Beautifully written and directed by the great Billy Wilder, bittersweet and heartfelt, this is sheer delight. Treat yourself and catch it on the big screen.

*****Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 15/06/2012

A welcome return to the big screen of Wilder's masterly Brechtian fable.

Philip French, The Observer, 17/06/2012

What results is a timeless, multiple Oscar-winning classic that continues to resonate.
