Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There's a lot here. But with a classic like Cuckoo's Nest, too much is never enough.

rotten:
One Flew over the Cuckoo 's Nest is an earnest attempt to make a serious film. But in the end the movie backs away from both the human reality and the cloudy but potent symbolism that Ken Kesey found in the asylum.
– Richard Schickel,

fresh:
Viewed 30 years after its release, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest remains a very good motion picture, although one that perhaps just misses the pinnacle of greatness where its reputation suggests it resides.

fresh:
Jack Nicholson stars in an outstanding characterization of Ken Kesey's asylum anti-hero, McMurphy, and Milos Forman's direction of a superbly-cast film is equally meritorious.

Jack Nicholson plays McMurphy as if he were born to it, and the supporting cast provides fine, detailed performances.
