Synopsis
A petty criminal fakes insanity to serve his sentence in a mental ward rather than prison. He soon finds himself as a leader to the other patients—and an enemy to the cruel, domineering nurse who runs the ward.

Empire
Too many classic set pieces to mention but keep your ears cocked for that immortal line "Mmmm, Juicy Fruit." Certified brilliance. - 100
USA Today
A masterpiece. (9 Jan 1998, p.3D) - 100
Variety
Brilliant cinema theatre. - 100
Total Film
Playing the mental-hospital firebrand who rebels against monstrous Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), Nicholson seduces in an anti-establishment classic with a gut-punch exit. - 100
The Guardian
Here is the bruised-plum role that put Jack Nicholson into the biggest of big leagues. - 90
The Hollywood Reporter
With One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Forman takes his rightful place as one of our most creative young directors. His casting is inspired, his sense of milieu is assured, and he could probably wring Academy Award performances from a stone. - 80
TV Guide Magazine
Jarring and electrifying drama. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
So good in so many of its parts that there's a temptation to forgive it when it goes wrong. But it does go wrong, insisting on making larger points than its story really should carry, so that at the end, the human qualities of the characters get lost in the significance of it all. And yet there are those moments of brilliance.
