A Clockwork Orange

CriticsCritics: 82
AudienceAudience: 8.3

In a near-future Britain, a violent young gang leader is imprisoned after his crimes catch up with him. He volunteers for an experimental treatment promising early release, raising unsettling questions about free will, personal responsibility, and how far the state should go to control behavior.

My take

You may appreciate this if you enjoy provocative, visually distinctive dystopian dramas that linger in the mind; Not for you if extreme violence, sexual assault, or morally unsettling protagonists are deal-breakers.
