ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

It demands thought, compels the attention, and refuses to be dismissed. And, for that reason, A Clockwork Orange must be considered a landmark of modern cinema. ...read the complete Clockwork Orange movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

That Clockwork Orange has stood the test of time and is as relevant seeing in 1999 as it was when it first came out, is a sign that society has not changed much since that time and that the film has opened up some skeletons in our closet about how we as ...read the complete Clockwork Orange movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Toto Cinema Matters, Australia (Adam Rivett)

In the treacherous halls of Village Cinemas, Stanley Kubrick is a deity, an acceptable figure of seriousness amid all that hucksterism and cinematic prostitution.

Chicago Reader (Dave Kehr)

A very bad film--snide, barely competent, and overdrawn--that enjoys a perennial popularity, perhaps because its confused moral position appeals to the secret Nietzscheans within us....read the complete Clockwork Orange, A (1971) review at Chicago Reader (Dave Kehr)
