Major points in both of these reviews were that Jack Nicholson casted as the main character is and example of perfect casting. He's cunning, crazy, and likeable. All the characters in this film do a very good job of conveying their emotions through the movie, and that really expresses the cruel tone of the movie. Another thing that was pointed out was the insane amount of rewatch value this movie has. Despite its long time, this movie is said to have an absence of boring or dull scenes, keeping its engagement through the whole film.

From the reviews I just read, I withdrew their thoughts in which they believed the story didn't really capture the essence of the time period. One reviewer expressed that the directer, and even writer, didn't understand the concept of revolution, or revolutionary period of the 60s. These reviewers felt that with the failures to grasp these concepts, the film seriously failed in being serious and just looked dumb. It was also felt that the portrayal of the mental institutions were poor in the way that they didn't perform and procedures in the way the movie showed.
