A thought provoking tale of how society was heading which has now become a reality. Considering when the book was written (1949), George Orwell comes very close to the mark. The film stays true to his book and is thought provoking and entertaining at the same time. Watch the film and then read the book if you haven’t already. I think it was a warning of how the world could end up if left to psychopathic, war mongering, power hungry leaders. And here we are, 1984

Very interesting with great actors. Reading the book is almost a requirement before watching the film though, because you understand much more then.

Not sure 'entertaining' is the right word for a grim picture of a possible future where the state wins by torture and brainwashing. But worth seeing - YES. Very well acted. Believable.

Distopian love story with good cast, captures the dreary future misses the depth of the book, but a late nite horror favorite in post covid era.
