Roger Ebert

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) is on every list of favorite films. It was the first film since "It Happened One Night" (1934) to win all five of the top Academy Awards.

Roger Ebert

It's a film so good in so many of its parts that there's a temptation to forgive it when it goes wrong.

The Hollywood Reporter

Chalk up Jack Nicholson as yet another strong contender for a Best Actor nomination in the 1975 Academy Award sweepstakes.

Variety

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.

IMDb

This movie is so good, so convincing without them. The actors played their roles in such a convincing way...This movie shows that cinema can make a difference. It can help to open people's eyes.

A rare screen adaptation of a beloved novel that maintains the emotional and dramatic power of the original while establishing its own distinctive approach to the story.

IMDb

Put a straightjacket on me, because I think this movie is insanely good! Directed by Milos Forman, 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest' tells the story of Randle P. McMurphy and his clash with Nurse Mildred Ratched.
