1984 Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Michael Radford's brilliant film of Orwell's vision does a good job of finding that line between the "future" world of 1984 and the grim postwar world in which Orwell wrote.
Common Sense Media
Barbara Shulgasser
Book-based tale has brutal political torture, violence, sex.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Solid version of the famous sci-fi novel. Big Brother again rules.
Washington Post
Paul Attanasio
Nodding to the movie's bleak mood, Burton bleakens himself; robbed of the pleasures of the grand, show-offy way he could use his voice, the mischievous twinkle of his eye, you feel cheated.
MetroActive
Richard von Busack
It's the linguistic cargo - the story of "Newspeak," the outlining of the censor's calling - that makes this tale still fearful.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
The moviemaking suggests a slow descent into a quiet, awful nightmare.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Better than to be expected adaptation of the book. Not bad, but nothing worthy writing Big Brother about.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A scary reminder of how easily totalitarian ideas and ideals crop up in societies and take fierce hold.
Countingdown.com
Larry Carroll
Slow moving and hard to follow. Not nearly as good as it should have been. Just go read the book instead.

While Radford never fully captures the devastating ordeal of mental and physical torture of Orwell's novel, it is an admirable effort and a fine film in its own right...
Video Review
Jeffrey Lyons
Orwell dealt in ironies, in frightening possibilities which have turned out to be not so far-fetched. But not much of that is conveyed in 1984. Just atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere.
Christopher Street
Quentin Crisp
The film is faultlessly acted by the entire cast and the settings are perfectly photographed in the kind of lighting that prevails on Waterloo or any of the main-line railway stations in London.
