Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

This film based on the novel by Ken Kesey is the one of the greatest dramatic films of all time. The story is clever with a nice twist in the tale. Jack Nicholson delivers one of his greatest performances and at least his most memorable (although he has come close since this one). Louise Fletcher and the rest of the cast do a pretty good job keeping up with Nicholson. . This funny and sentimental motion picture is so fascinating and entertaining at the very same time, you just have to like it. It is never boring or too sentimental, never dull or unbelievable. In one word this movie, directed by Milos Forman, is superb.
