Sarah Paulson, Sharon Stone, Cynthia Nixon and Judy Davis headline Ryan Murphy's star-studded 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' horror prequel for Netflix. Read THR's review of Ratched:
Mildred Ratched first appears in the Netflix series that bears her name as a cartoon villainess. Gazing disapprovingly — or analytically — at a couple mid-PDA from her turquoise car, the future antagonist of Ken Kesey's novel cuts a gas-station attendant down to size for making friendly if annoying chitchat. “You should bathe more often,” this Nurse Ratched tells him, her blood-hued lips matching her scarlet driving gloves, neck scarf and the large, cursive “R” on her coat.
. Created by Evan Romansky, it’s in many ways a quasi-tasteful remix of the FX series’ most creatively successful season,. Gone are the alien abductions, Nazi death doctors, killer nuns and Oedipally obsessed serial killers that madedisplays a lot more narrative discipline. And yet the whole feels lesser than the sum of its parts.
But what parts! Production designer Judy Becker and costume designers Lou Eyrich and Rebecca Guzzi ensure there’s always something to admire, especially at the luxurious psychiatric hospital in California’s Central Coast where most of the series takes place. begins with the former wartime nurse Mildred in search of a job at the same facility where the killer of four priests, Edmund Tolleson , is to be housed and diagnosed before facing trial.
The performances are across-the-board fantastic, but Nixon — playing Mildred’s love interest — exhibits such frailty, sensuality and decency that her turn ultimately ends up feeling like it belongs in a much better production. , the excellent acting can’t make up for the relative thinness of the characterizations, which are sacrificed here for the scaffolding for Season 2. , which continues to offer visual splendor — and an unusual and highly welcome romance — well beyond the satiation point.
