What makes it a masterpiece of anti-feminist cinema? Apart from the main antagonist being female, how does this make it anti-feminist? Women can be evil, with or without feminism.

I can kind of see where the OP is coming from. Feminism is a collective order of women like Nurse Ratched, trying to control others to make themselves feel bigger than they are.

Good analogy, though I have never related feminism or anti-feminism to the film. All I see is one questionable, despicable and unethical character who just happens to be female. But if she represents what feminists stand for, then perhaps the OP is right. I think Ratched was fueled by her hatred of men.

She's what would be referred to nowadays by achingly right on film critics as "a strong female role model". You can agree with her methods or you can disagree, but you have to admit she has (pardon the phallocentric metaphor)
