Leave your thoughts about The Cuckoo.
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonHandicapped by a slow start, misguided direction and, most damaging, an ill-conceived movement into metaphysical territory in its last 15 minutes. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA bit overextended for its very simple story...but for the most part this is a charming, curiously touching picture. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderA trifling treat that neither amounts to nor aspires to anything substantial. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonIt's an unabashed pacifist movie that really works, emotionally and dramatically. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertHumanistic without being preachy or blinded by optimism about human nature. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzRogozhkin brings a needed sense of humanity to this well-realized war film. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[A] gentle, often funny, always very human film about loneliness and unexpected companionship... |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreA consistently hilarious collision of cultures and a string of misunderstandings. |
| Film Journal InternationalRex RobertsFull of biblical and mythic parallels, but the film is rescued from such earnestness by whimsical performances and the sheer beauty of the landscape. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Jeff ViceRogozhkin makes nearly all of his points with surprising subtlety. |
