However the biggest drawback of the film is its length (2 hrs 42 minutes) and a climax which can be predicted at every turn. It is highly melodramatic and heart wrenching, tries to manipulate the viewers with an excess of sentiments and mush, reminding you of 70’s tearjerkers.
But on the whole, Cuckoo is a bold and daring film with a great first half which is lively and entertaining. Don’t forget to take two handkerchiefs.
