...despite all its cynicism, The Apartment still ends on a hopeful note...
June 08, 2012
Directed by Wilder with attention to detail and emotional reticence that belie its inherent darkness and melodramatic core, it's lifted considerably by the performances.

July 01, 2013
Wilder, a bilious and mercurial wit, here becomes a wide-screen master of time ...
August 15, 2007
Most of the time, it's up to director Wilder to sustain a two-hour-plus film on treatment alone, a feat he manages to accomplish more often than not, and sometimes the results are amazing.
