One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2018)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger
This film is a classic that should be seen by everyone. The story is funny, disturbing, and the characters are so unique and genuine. The story shows us what can happen is authoritative figures become consumed in their own power.
The acting is amazing. Jack Nicholson is perfect. He plays a wisecracking man who defies all authority. Louise Fletcher plays the infamous Nurse Ratched. She is absolutely perfect. All of the actors in this film perform very well.
The pacing is perfect and the runtime is short for the source material.
Milos Forman has made films, that on paper seem mundane and boring, that capture the mind and soul. He is a master of storytelling.
Pros: Funny yet disturbing story, a great character study, unique characters, amazing acting, perfect pacing, a good runtime, and how Milos Forman can create such intriguing and capturing films
Cons: The film is rather old but it holds up in most parts. The acting can seem outdated and the cameras used for the film make the film seem grainy
Overall Rating: 9.4
