One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Reviews

Nurse Ratched is top 5 most evil villains in film, probably ahead of Thanos. I loved every second of this one and it kept me on my toes because of how unpredictable all the characters were. The ending is perfect; sad, yet hopeful, and the music in this film is amazing.

"If he's crazy, what does that make you?"

My god, what a movie to end the year on, I mean, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is an absolute masterpiece, its pacy, it’s fun, it delivers on multiple meaningful messages, the acting is phenomenal and the ending is just pitch perfect.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a once in a lifetime watch that I cannot recommend enough, if you haven’t seen it, you are missing out one quite frankly the greatest thing Warner Bros has ever put out.

1st Act 9.2/10 (Easy steady pacing, but doesn’t pick up until like 25-30 minutes in which is at the basketball scene.)

2nd Act 9.8/10 (Near perfection, I was in awe while watching, and I loved every bit, though it was quite hard to get into the characters because of how they only used last names.)

3rd Act 10/10 (Well slap me in the face and call me a bitch, cause holy shit was it good, like start to finish it had me in a chokehold like an alcoholic step dad.)

Plot 10/10 (Incredibly executed, couldn’t have been done any better, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a movie I actually believe I couldn’t make, which given the fact I believe I can do anything with film, that truly is something.)

Soundtrack/Score 9.0/10 (Proves that few and far music works in cinema.)

Acting 11/10 (I mean cmon, Jack Nicholson, Danny Devito, Christopher Lloyd, Brad Dourif and Sydney Lassick are all giving all time performances.)

Pacing 9.8/10 (Perfectly paced past the first 25 minutes.)

Cinematography 9.5/10 (End scene is incredible along with the close ups.)

Character Development 11/10 (Mac and Chief’s dynamic is absolutely fucking brilliant, along with the influence they had on everyone.)

Writing 11/10 (The dialogue is not only so fucking good, but the underlying messages make it so much fucking better.)

Ending 10/10 (I wouldn’t leave you like this.)

Direction 9.7/10 (Genuinely so fucking good, like my god.)

Overall
120/120
10/10

must watch movie

I don’t think I have ever felt so happy and so sad at the same time, especially by the end of the movie. That dang nurse is a character I will never look at the same way again. I remember thinking she was okay at the start, but now when I start the movie I already want her dead

Wow man, this movie is absolutely mind blowing. It's one of those ones that you gotta watch more than once to truly understand it.

Flawless acting, an excellent cast, and most importantly brilliant script. Deserved the Oscars.
Highly recommend.

One of the greatest films all the time.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is still one of the most forward-thinking and emotionally complex film about oppression and people’s rights as it relates not just to mental illness but to society as a whole. It is a movie of numbing power with a raw humor.

7.5/10

Iconic acting and seems the inspiration for so many movies but not something I’d want to watch again

Enfaite le film est bien,l’histoire pareil mais encore une fois c’est trop long pour rien, 1h40 aurait suffi.
Mais dans l’ensemble j’ai bien aimé

omg ..
lalami a bien conseiller

Jack Nicholson Greatness

a brilliant character study that is held strongly together by its perfect performances and a stellar script. jack nicholson effortlessly leads the various patients, resulting in a charismatic form of growth and camaraderie. beautiful music and scenes throughout, a true classic

Also get war flashbacks from psych. Danny devito ☺️

Rewatching movies to me is so important. I used to think of this movie as the most overrated movie oat, not bad, just overrated. Now, I still don’t love it, but I understand the appeal sm more, and I finally appreciate this film for the excellence it perpetually receives

spent three days trying to finish this movie. it was so boring it almost made me rip my hair out of my head. the last thirty minutes were good and the acting was truly amazing but overall this movie is not amazing like how people made it seem

A great movie, Jack Nicholson's performance is absolutely stellar. It's a sad story that reflects greatly on mental illness, and self-perception. I personally like this movie inspires reflection and portrays perfectly an environment that used to be fairly common. 9.5

A stunning blend of dark humor and emotional depth, featuring standout performances, particularly from Nicholson. The film’s exploration of mental health is both thought-provoking and unsettling, making you laugh, cry, and reflect long after.

Rating: H - 10/10
