"The Apartment" (1960) is such a good psychological study of alienation and soul destroying workplaces, capturing how achingly lonely and cold the holidays can make people feel. The way it kindles warmth and a convincing love story out of that emptiness gets me every time.

It feels sincere and, to be honest, more truthful to what the holidays have been to me often in my life. Its hope hits so hard because the story is honest about how cruel the world can be.

I checked and found that Roger Ebert rated it highly and wrote a lovely review of it:
