Review of Apt Pupil (1998) by Jean Oppenheimer for Dallas Observer — 01 May 2007
This brutal film borders on the brilliant. Beautifully structured and edited, with a chilling central performance by Ian McKellen and an exceptional score by John Ottman, who also edited the picture, it churns up emotions and leaves the viewer feeling stunned and depleted.
