Film Threat Pete Vonder Haar
When the most sympathetic character in your comedy is a skinhead, you’re definitely on to something, and Jensen definitely is here.
Read Full Review >Variety Gunnar Rehlin
A funny, politically incorrect and, somewhere deep down, thoughtful black comedy, Adam's Apples is the third and final film in helmer-writer Anders Thomas Jensen's excellent trilogy centered on oddballs and misfits in Denmark.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Jensen tarnishes the lining of every cloud in one wickedly funny scene after another.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle G. Allen Johnson
This oddball story, written and directed by Anders Thomas Jen sen, whom Dogme followers might remember from his screenplay for the 1999 hit "Mifune," is more than a one-joke concept. Its characters are sometimes cruel, sometimes sweet, but always recognizably human.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
This Danish comedy, like most of that country's dramas, is dark, dark, dark.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
The movie is one long pose. But it develops into an idea slightly greater than its flippancy. The steady frenzy is whipped into a roux of two reasonably developed characters.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Matt Zoller Seitz
Smart-aleck comedy and spirituality aren't incompatible, but in Adam's Apples they cancel each other out.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Ed Gonzalez
The melodramas that prolific Anders Thomas Jensen has sculpted over the years have been among the richest works to come out of Scandinavia since Bergman's heyday. But no road is without its pockmarks and Adam's Apples may be the low point of the wunderkind's career.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Scott Foundas
Some will see this as a movie about how we're all God’s children. I saw only the misanthropic fulminations of Jensen's runaway ego.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Sam Adams
The movie is all surface, loudly clamoring for attention and then losing its voice.
Read Full Review >New York Post V.A. Musetto
The characters are too cliched to be funny, and Jensen's script can't stay focused long enough to make an impression. Where is Lars von Trier when we need him?

Beth C. gave it a9:
I found it beautiful and funny I didn't see it as uplifting since it was a dark comedy and god hates the main character so I don't understand the critics remarks. Hilarious!
Jon F. gave it a10:
Smart comedy. No doubt one of the best I`ve seen.
Susan S. gave it a9:
Could never be made in the US brillinatly refreshing hysterical comedy with a covert but heart warming message.
