Clarisse Loughrey Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Apple Cider Vinegar is more nuanced than you might expect, but it’s also inevitably a Netflix true crime series aware its audience is waiting for their comeuppance with a feminist twist. Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman This series, though distinctly sugar-coated, has so much to say about life in the 21st century it’s impossible not to feel a tiny bit complicit with some of the various deceptions at which it rather jauntily jabs a finger. Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Margaret Lyons New York Times "Vinegar" has more depth and bite than many other scam stories, with more hypotheses about what might motivate someone to perpetrate social frauds. Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Emma Stefansky The Daily Beast As the streaming service’s latest entry into its cinematic universe of scammers, Apple Cider Vinegar is an appropriately sour addition to the clique. Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Emily Watkins iNews.co.uk The six-part drama not only gets to the heart of what makes Gibson’s story so gripping, but it expands and elaborates on it, asking questions that couldn’t be more poignant in our increasingly online age. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Akos Peterbencze The Screen Illnesses — uncomfortable, debilitating, terminal, or otherwise — are similar in many ways, but the torment they put us through is never identical.

Dani G Kaitlyn Dever is like the queen of miniseries. She has specialized in it Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Kleber d Atuações Marcantes e Reflexões Contemporâneas Vinagre de Maçã é uma série que impressiona em diversos aspectos, mas não sem suas falhas. As atuações de Katlyn Denver (Belle) e Alycia Debnam-Carey (Milla) são impecáveis, transmitindo uma gama de emoções que cativam e, ao mesmo tempo, provocam desconforto. É quase impossível assistir sem sentir raiva das escolhas questionáveis das protagonistas, o que reforça a humanidade complexa de seus personagens. A edição é outro acerto, com uma trilha sonora bem escolhida e uso de câmeras que amplifica a narrativa. No entanto, a montagem tropeça ao tentar manipular as linhas do tempo, resultando em transições que podem confundir o espectador. O maior problema, porém, está no roteiro. Por se basear em uma história real, a série tem limitações para fugir dos eventos verídicos, mas peca na escolha do que abordar. Alguns episódios sofrem com momentos desnecessários, como as repetidas cenas que destacam o narcisismo de Belle. Essa redundância, usada para escalonar a gravidade de seu comportamento, é desnecessária, já que o traço fica evidente logo no início. O último episódio, por sua vez, acelera o ritmo de forma abrupta, entregando uma resolução que parece superficial e um tanto decepcionante. Outro desafio é a dificuldade em criar empatia pelos personagens. Tanto Belle quanto Milla despertam mais revolta do que conexão, reforçando a ausência de heroínas tradicionais e destacando suas falhas humanas. Enquanto Milla encontra alguma redenção no penúltimo episódio, Belle deixa um gosto amargo de injustiça. Apesar disso, Vinagre de Maçã brilha ao explorar um tema contemporâneo: a influência das redes sociais e os perigos de permitirmos que personalidades digitais moldem nossas vidas. Com atuações marcantes das protagonistas, uma edição sólida e um roteiro que, embora imperfeito, aborda questões relevantes, a minissérie é uma obra válida e provocadora, que nos alerta para os riscos de um mundo hiperconectado. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Gareth v An entertaining enough telling of the Belle Gibson saga that is overly melodramatic at times, and with that lacks the emotional gut-punch it's hoping to deliver. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Stephen C 6 successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Eva B It was good and the actresses were great but it should have been less episodes or at least smaller episodes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Cue d Captivating and hopefully cautionary tale that reminds people that appearances can hide cruel, selfish, and dangerous behaviors.
