The Apartment

just really beautifully made in all ways; it’s writing, acting, humour, cinematography. It captures loneliness so well. And the humour, set-ups and pay-offs just so simple yet unique. One of my favourites ever probably.

Nearly perfect. Unique yet simple concept. The script is iron clad, with enough out of pocket left turns to keep the audience engaged. Everything happens twice, in the form of effective callbacks. Reminds us that it really can work out in the end if we stick are good to others.

I’ve seen this movie before and I’ve loved it every time. Baxter is a great representation of how it is to climb the toxic corporate ladder 🤌 The writing, the acting, everything about this movie is beautifully crafted.

The Apartment

Cutest love story, movie aged like fine wine, makes you want to dress like a 1960s office worker and smoke a cigarette on a cold, dreary night alone under a streetlight

The Apartment

Another great film from Billy Wilder, and another Best Picture Winner checked off the list. The real star here is the screenplay. Single-location films (or at least mostly) are notoriously hard to pull off because the writing has to be sharp and engaging enough to offset the confinement - but…

The Apartment

Best Picture Oscar winner 1961 (33rd Academy Awards) My Rating: 8/10 Nominated for 10 Oscar’s and won 5. Shirley MacLaine and Jack Lemmon are perfect in this movie together and deserve all the accolades. The subject matter is tough in some parts. But also hilarious. 🤩
