What is it with TO reviewers and Kubrick?
By rostokov from london , 13 Jan 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
'A sexless, inhuman film, whose power derives from a ruthless subordination of its content to the demands of telling a good story.' This is a nonsensical criticism. I thought good storytelling was a laudable ideal. The film doesn't really even subordinate its content, ie: Burgess' novel, it is a remarkably lucid adaptation, masterfully transforming Burgess' poetic prose into a cinematic symphony riffing on the theme of individual free will V's society.
It is only 'inhuman' if one is willing to believe that the primal urges its protagonist displays aren't human impulses, for good or bad. It is not my favourite Kubrick film, (I find the ending a little inadequate), but its still a powerful film that demands to be seen.- Was this review helpful to you?

Like clockwork
By GordonVader (118 reviews) from Emerald City, oz , 14 Jan 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
ok so I have decided in my infinite wisdom to review every single film i have ever seen on love film... Currently still on the letter 'A' .... one of Kubrick's less mental movies and a wonderful adaption of a tricky novel... Macdowell is amazing as one of cinema's best Anti heroes....- Was this review helpful to you?

Still incredibly relevant
By Bassman71 (630 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 14 Jan 2013Stanley Kubrick’s controversial “ultra-violent” film based on Anthony Burgess’s book which, despite its age, still stands up well and is incredibly relevant. Obviously aspects of the film are dated but there are so many iconic scenes and images that stand out and come away with you after the film. The first forty minutes can be quite difficult to watch at times although strangely there is an element of humour amongst the violence. Malcolm McDowell is excellent as the child-like yet disturbed Alex and you do go through a series a different emotions for his character as the film goes on. The music is a little dated but does work well at key points.- Was this review helpful to you?

Shocking in content
By a customer , 18 Dec 2012The film opens with the racist stereotyping of an elderly Irishman shown as the first random victim of the psychopath. I appreciate it was made in 1971 but all the same the mindless violence is still shocking today.- Was this review helpful to you?
