One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

A petty criminal pretends to be mentally ill to avoid prison and is sent to a psychiatric ward. His rebellious energy lifts the spirits of the other patients, but brings him into conflict with the strict nurse who controls the institution.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy emotionally intense dramas about freedom, friendship, and oppressive institutions, with dark humor and complex characters; Not for you if you prefer light, fast-paced entertainment or gentle subject matter.
