Film Threat
When the most sympathetic character in your comedy is a skinhead, you’re definitely on to something, and Jensen definitely is here. - 80
Variety
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. - 75
TV Guide Magazine
Peculiar but oddly winsome fable. - 75
New York Daily News
Jensen tarnishes the lining of every cloud in one wickedly funny scene after another. - 63
Boston Globe
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. - 50
Village Voice
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. - 50
The New York Times
Smart-aleck comedy and spirituality aren't incompatible, but in Adam's Apples they cancel each other out. - 30
L.A. Weekly
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.
