Critics consensus

“An important touchstone of the New Hollywood era, Five Easy Pieces is a haunting portrait of alienation that features one of Jack Nicholson's greatest performances.”

If the function of art is to help an audience feel less alone, then Five Easy Pieces succeeds beautifully.

Andrew Sarris

RTVillage VoiceNov 18, 2017

A very modern film. Elliptical, absurdist, harshly humorous, convulsively lyrical.

Noel Murray

RTThe DissolveJul 1, 2015

Director Bob Rafelson attempts something unusual here, making a film that's subtle about its meaning without ever ranging into the pretentiously oblique or merely ambiguous.

Michael Calleri

RTNiagara GazetteMay 16, 2026

The exceptional film is not merely about the family you discover after you leave home. It is also about the family you left behind. Life has a way of connecting them to each other. The extraordinary "Five Easy Pieces" shows us why this is important.
