I've known of this film by reputation for decades, so I suppose I was biased going in, but it really is an unpleasant viewing experience, pointlessly so (at least in the first quarter-hour, which I had to make myself watch). I won't rate it lower though because the unpleasantness is filmed stylishly, and this wasn't the dull slog of 2001. Kubrick not only directed but adapted the Anthony Burgess novel, which apparently is very different.
