Rating: 7/10 -- Expands public's knowledge about WW2-era "comfort women" enslaved by Japanese Army...Emotional wallop surmounts unclear political negotiations and confusing organization. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Hsiung clearly wanted to focus on several specific individuals, whose good humour and perseverance shine through in The Apology. It is one thing to talk about thousands of victims; quite another to look into the eyes of just three.

Rating: 5/5 -- A timely and important documentary about the courage of three elderly survivors of sexual slavery and their quest for justice. Full Review

Rating: 7/10 -- While not becoming a fully objective historical document, the documentary does a tremendous job of leading its audience to immerse themselves in the emotion of the past. Full Review

Rating: B- -- Alternately enraging and sorrowful, Hsiung's film sheds much needed light on a powerful and deeply important story of injustice. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The Apology does a superb job depicting these women's lives and how are they coping. It's not as effective from a journalistic perspective. Full Review

Hsiung's film is composed of a series of gut-wrenching scenes. As each of the women recalls her experience in striking detail, the audience is asked to relive the raw emotion with her. Full Review
