Free Eden employee Apple leads a secret witch cult with coworkers Cherry and Fig. New hire Pumpkin questions their sisterhood, forcing them to confront inner darkness or meet violent ends.

Critics Consensus

Charmingly goofy and packed with incisive insights into the relatable ups and downs of any friend group, Forbidden Fruits is a campy coven worth hanging out with for its concise runtime.

Maybe the fact that we’ve been given a movie about thoroughly messy women is enough, even if the package is itself a little messy.

The kind of movie where you're just watching along and then woah! Things start happening that you just did not see coming.

The writing here is really sharp and mean in a way that is very heightened, specific, and funny.

Meredith Alloway’s *Forbidden Fruits* (2026) has been met with some controversy. After all, it tells the story of a group of teenagers who break the rules by proclaiming absolute power. [Full Review in Spanish]

There’s a particular kind of disappointment when a film presents itself as something enticing, only to sour after the first bite, leaving a bitter aftertaste, and Forbidden Fruits gets there almost immediately.

The success of "Fruits" really does rely on finding its target. But those they’re aiming for will be thrilled.

Felt a little crammed. Also the ending was a bit off. Still wondering why Apple was homeless in Dallas.

There is so much to these women that, for an interpersonally-based cinema junkie like me, I can see returns to this flick becoming a regular habit. I even know what I want to focus on the 1st time I watch it again. Performances are off the charts from all parties with regard to specific stakes, histories, & authenticity to the world of the film. And while its not exactly a horror movie per s, the horror genres kind of all over it.

It was entertaining, a bit Mean Girl-ish. I would watch the sequel if they make one.
