Review of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) by Ryan C — 31 May 2016
"One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" won five Oscar's for a reason: it's almost completely flawless. Milos Forman's direction brings incredible life to this novel that sets such a classic 1970s feel that not only analyzes its characters so well, but also addresses the cultural and politics of the time and yet, it remains timeless.
That being said, the greatest asset to this film is its star Jack Nicholson. From quiet to angry to homicidal, the man can play any emotion in the snap of a finger as his incredible talent is on full display here. His dynamic relationship with Louise Fletcher is very engaging and the rest of the supporting cast (including Danny DeVito) is also incredibly spot-on.
