This film was filled with a brilliant cast that performed sensationally, with Jack Nicholson as the lead role delivering sheer perfection to each and every scene creating the atmosphere for the viewer. A phenomenal performance by Nicholson, supported by a terrific ensemble of actors. Milos Foreman created a genuine masterpiece. The correlation and relationship with the characters along with the breathtaking ambiance makes you feel you are experiencing the dealings and events that transpire amongst the institute, your compassion for McMurphy is beautifully juxtaposing to your hatred for Nurse Ratched. For to be entertained and captivated for an entire 2 hours is not usual for me, though they were not some scenes I enjoyed and found a fraction disturbing; it was all a part of the monumental experience. The movie quintessentially depicts the extraordinary and almost abnormal occurrences inside an insane institution at that time. Through much speculation I consider this Nicholson and Forman's best work.

Cleverly funny and nearly heartbreaking at times. Jack Nicholson is just magnificent. Nicholson, in my opinion, gives his very best performance. Every line he gives is delivered with sheer perfection. The charm he brings to his character is what makes the film so entertaining and the ending so heartwrenching. He has great chemistry with and delivers an intense battle of wits with Louise Fletcher (who in turn is amazing herself) that leaves you glued to the screen. The entire cast is filled with terrific supporting turns from the likes of Will Sampson, Brad Dourif, and Christopher Lloyd. The script is simply magnificent. Milos Foreman, who went on to direct such fantastic films like Amadeus, Man on the Moon, and The People Vs Larry Flynt, creates his first masterpiece with this film and one of the most important films in cinematic history.

I bet there is not one person that doesn't like this film.
The whole cast is fantastic and when you have Nicholson at the helm it can't go wrong.
If it wasn't for some shark called 'Bruce' this film would be my number 1 of 1975.

Few films are truly flawless.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

Simply a perfect movie.

I knew this movie was good but i didn't knew it was so good.
The story is captivating, the characters are good and tridimensional, especeally Jack Nicholson, with a performance that makes the movie the classic that it is.
Milos Forman makes the 2 hours of duration of this movie fly by.

I hadn't watched this since high school when I had just finished the book. I forgot that Brad Dourif was in it.

Šai filmai vienkārši nav iespējams ielikt mazāk par piecām zvaigznēm! Neko vairāk nekomentēšu. Spēcīga filma!

The film's attempt to represent the many facets of American culture within only a few mental ward patients doesn't satisfyingly convey the message they wish to, and Nurse Ratched herself failed to meet the standards of villainy she had been built up to. But all in all, it's not a terrible film. Flawed, definitely, but not terrible.

My favorite Jack Nicholson. On par with the book.

Milos Forman uses the backdrop of a mental hospital to make a thought-provoking political essay about who really has power in a democracy: the people or the state. Louise Fletcher and Jack Nicholson give two of cinema's greatest performances as Nurse Ratched and R.P. McMurphy, a nurse who has assumed a totalitarian control over her ward and the rebellious patient who fights her system for individual freedom. It's a tremendous adaptation of Ken Kesey's classic novel.

Goddamn Jack you are handsome devil. Instant classic.

An important portrait of dated and horrific therapeutic techniques for mental health in the western world. Forman shows us an incredibly unique ensemble cast and their world shattered by the arrival of McMurphy and his principles on life. This film balances its disturbing images and its charming sense of humour perfectly.
