Philip French: Seeing A Clockwork Orange on the big screen for the first time in 20 years, I thought it looked like a Donald McGill cartoon much magnified but without the finesse of a Roy Lichtenstein.

Peter Bradshaw: Deserves to be called a work of raddled genius, if anything does, with all that the word implies of dysfunction, waywardness and dazzling, delirious insight. It is like seeing a mixture of Jacobean revenge drama, 18th-century picaresque novel, sci-fi porn and horror comic | The Observer
