A Moving Moment...

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 1999)

One of the finest moments I have had the pleasure of seeing on screen is Will Sampson's fight for freedom in the end of this picture. It's so incredibly moving that I watch the ending over and over again so I can hold on to it for years to come. To one of the finest films ever made, what can you say that hasn't been already said? Nicholson's brilliant. Said before. Louise Fletcher gives the finest performance in her long career. Been said thousands of times. An extraordinary ensemble cast that includes Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, Scatman Crothers and the sheer genius of Brad Dourif. It's all been said before.
No film has never made me laugh so hard and at the same time cry more than this incredible piece of artistry.
