THE original distopian story!! A 'must see' that stayed with me for days, but I don't want sit through again despite how well made it is.
Very faithful to the original book. I was surprised about how good the soundtrack is. John Hurt is amazing here.
One of my favourite books of all time, film does it justice
An effective adoption anchored by an underrated performance from John Hurt. Great electronic soundtrack. Prepare to feel depressed though.
Great film adaptation of a classic novel that went the extra mile with sets, costumes, actors to make you think big brother is watching you
Classic dystopian sci-fi movie, worth watching
Slow and dark. Quite psychological. Makes you think
Couldn’t have asked for more from this adaptation.
A classic for a reason. The message is crucial and the style distinct. Unfortunately I found the book more interesting and it dragged a bit.
You need to read the book. Then see the movie. Written in the 1940s, it's no longer fiction .
