“The tonal wizardry of ‘The Apartment’ is often miraculous… Most films define themselves as one genre or another, but this one can be several of them at once. But that sort of high-level plate-spinning is true of the screenplay in general, which is immensely satisfying in the way it keeps planting and paying off turns of the plot.” ~ Scott Tobias, The Guardian
