COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Classic Film submitted by rmhawkins on June 13, 2014, 8:16pm I am surprised no one has reviewed this movie before. It is a brilliant film with incredible performances.

Cuckoo's Nest submitted by SBNB on June 19, 2014, 11:55am It's fine but not my favorite.

fantastic acting submitted by Jackie77 on August 24, 2015, 8:58pm Great acting. In a mental institution, the characters cause problems and wreak havoc on other patients and the medical staff. Jack is wonderful in here.

Psychiatric treatment vs power submitted by ccrose on January 12, 2023, 1:05am It was filmed in an actual mental institution with staff and even real patients as a part of the crew and actors. the power conflict between Nurse Ratchet, who holds the strings to the psychiatric option of lobotomy, and Nicholson’s freedom-loving character.

Great Movie! submitted by delenich on July 20, 2023, 12:00pm This is an excellent movie, about a man who feigns insanity to avoid a prison sentence and ends up in a mental institution. The film explores themes of individuality, rebellion against authority, and the dehumanization of patients in mental health institutions.
