Atom User Reviews
Metacritic
The supporting cast is flawless, with a special mention owed to Brad Dourif as poor, doomed Billy Bibbit. But the script lacks the woozy, otherworldly subtlety of Kesey’s book, relying instead on pop psychology and finger-pointing: once again, it turns out women are to blame for pretty much everything.
Tom Huddleston
Time Out
Nicholson’s live-wire performance turns what could have been a standard movie malcontent into a martyr.
Chris Nashawaty
Entertainment Weekly
Its honest and forthright depiction of mental illness, combined with Nicholson’s tour-de-force bull in a china shop performance, mean that it has lost none of its power to provoke and entertain in the four decades since its release.
