Review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) by Milogold — 25 Oct 2014
A truly heartwarming and awe inspiring film; one I believe to be one of, if not the best film of all time. This film was a rare treat in which I found myself shouting with joy when things went well for characters and screaming and crying with sorrow when it didn't. An outstanding performance from Jack Nicholson, whom I believe to be the best actor to have lived, is accompanied by amazing performances from Sydney Lassick, Christoper Lloyd, Will Sampson, Brad Dourif and Louise Fletcher. This film is relate-able to so many people, as it delves into human nature and kindness between one another; forgetting that the majority of the characters we see suffer from severe mental disabilities. From the moment you see Jack Nicholson walk on screen you're hooked (his acting was just spot on), and the director creates an environment, that against all odds feels as if you can become completely immersed and a part of.
10/10 Absolutely brilliant film that will go down as a all time classic.
