Konterr Brilliant and touching
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
zakthomasnz This film had some truly extravagant set pieces, convincing acting and was perfectly shot. At first one moves towards Jack Nicholson as the star, but the realism and brilliance truly comes from the patients (Christopher Lloyd, Danny Devito etc.) and of course Nurse Ratchet. Through genuine shock and powerful directing and acting this film is ideal for any budding moviegoer.
AGrapp89 I LOVED the book. The movie, not so much. Which is really disappointing since considering it's not that difficult of a story line to portray alongside the book. Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher did a great job in their roles but that is pretty much it.
wheeler-67316 Honestly it's just one of the best movies I've ever seen. JUST WATCH IT
kartalallen This film is my favourite drama ever. Hard hitting and thought provoking.....this film highlights the enormous failings of our metal health systems, which were (and probably still are) not curing or encouraging recovery....but containing and controlling.In this movie we see our main characters optimism and rebellious ways start to help the other inmates improve and recover from their problems....In the end we see our leading lady playing the nurse not only undo soem healthy recovery ..... but actually prey of his insecurities and drive him to a terrible end. Our lead man loses it and I felt all his anger and could see myself acting as he did in shear rage.....this is one of the strongest most emotional moments of any film i have ever watched, but brilliantly the gloom is tempered with a glourious ending of sublime hope.A remarkable story, brilliantly played by all the cast.....superb
