É bom ver o cinema cumprindo uma velha função que, às vezes, é esquecida: levar o espectador a refletir sobre si mesmo e sobre a sociedade em que vive.

Book-based tale has brutal political torture, violence, sex.

A scary reminder of how easily totalitarian ideas and ideals crop up in societies and take fierce hold.

Better than to be expected adaptation of the book. Not bad, but nothing worthy writing Big Brother about.

It's the linguistic cargo - the story of "Newspeak," the outlining of the censor's calling - that makes this tale still fearful.

Slow moving and hard to follow. Not nearly as good as it should have been. Just go read the book instead.

Solid version of the famous sci-fi novel. Big Brother again rules.

Its accuracy goes hand-in-hand with its unobtrusive nature, perfectly creating the ordinariness of Orwell's dystopian nightmare in ways that unsettle you only in retrospect.
