| Professional Reviews | (04/01/2004, p.59, Premiere Staff): "[Featuring] the multiple charms of McDowell's performance.", (06/13/2003, p.63, Entertainment Weekly Staff): "...CLOCKWORK is a movie about movies -- and sex and power and music and Sovietism -- that works as a head trip by driving for the gut. Consider it Kubrick's most surrealistic feat...", (07/15/1999, p.C17, Steve Emmons): "...A CLOCKWORK ORANGE is still potent and though-provoking...", (10/01/2000, p.64, Dan Leigh): "...[The film] remains every bit as tantalising as it ever was...", (12/01/2000, p.120, Nick Clark): "...It still shocks....Provocative..." |
