I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

good back-story, and good acting

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

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.

Not in the negative or disparaging sense, but both the background and characters are like from another world. Everything is twisted and intertwined, laugh is inside tragic events and/or past, people in the parish are so different as they can be... And so there is religion: a kind of unifying factor, but through questionable motives and patterns. Well, the director and screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen is famous for strange films and Adams æbler is definitely shining in this row.But the strongest part of the film is the cast, it includes so many contemporary Danish character actors: Ulrich Thomsen, Mads Mikkelsen, Nicolas Bro, Paprika Steen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas... They are really great to follow, even if their characters' actions make you shrug your shoulders, or some jokes or scenes are just above/your comprehension. Thus, the film is well recommended, but it must be seen in a company of like-minded, it is not for everyone's taste. People with extreme or fie!ugh! attitudes should better skip it totally.

I went to see this film last night. I had no expectations going in to it, other than the fact that I really love Danish films and the actor Mads Mikkelsen. The movie really blew me away. The story is told in such a way that you find yourself laughing in the strangest places, you get really shocked in other places and the communication between the persons is extreme and wild! The acting from all of the actor's is superb!You go out of the movie theater with a smile on you face at the same time you find yourself reflecting on some of the key questions on life itself..Go out and watch it as soon as possible!

It really is a movie masterpiece. I have never come along any comparable story and this is not the only aspect making Adams Apples my personal favorite of all time. The characters are very developed. You get a little piece of everyone's background-story so you cannot help but feel like knowing the people for a long time and so, you perfectly sympathize their changings. If i had to use one word to sum-up the movie it would be: Touching. The least thing i can say is that you will surely enjoy watching it, whether you like it's surprising plot twists or moral lessons. This is a movie that everyone needs to see. It will make you laugh, when you're not supposed to do. It will make you cry, when you shouldn't feel like doing so. It is one of the few movies, that are getting better, the more often i watch them. But still i cannot completely categorize it. All i know is, that it should be more famous than it is.10/10, my favorite movie

Until I saw this film last night, I thought that Bjork was the ultimate in significant meaninglessness. A new standard has emerged. If I didn't know the heroic role of the Danes during WWII, I'd have been less annoyed by the passive passion and empty moralizing.The Book of Job plays a role in defining the action, and might have added a powerful message about man vs. God. Unfortunately, the writer seems to have skipped the poetic climax of this scriptural story."Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?", God replies to the torment of Job. Archibald MacLeish and Tom Paine understood the magnitude of this question. Few things are as frustrating as a script that is overwhelmed by the concept it addresses.Even the "assault" on Big Oil is trivialized as a ransacking of a filling station, making victims, not of the Wealthy, but of their underpaid employees.The Director has managed to place an emotional filter between the viewer and the screen. Do we care? Is there a connection? Perhaps for those pathetic individuals who gather stoically around a traffic accident. I think I should lie down and wait for my feelings to subside.
