Only 2 household names in Nicholson and Black but plenty faces you'll know.One of these films that kinda got forgot abot alas and you rarely see it, but it was nominated i think for 2 Oscars.One of the best films Nicholson has done and this Criterion version is superb, with plenty of extras as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ States of America *by K***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2012* The late sixties through to the early eighties was a fascinating era for American cinema. I don't mean the bloated blockbusters by Coppola, Lucas, Spielberg et al (however good they may or may not be) but the independent, low-budget, or simply unclassifiable films being made by directors such as Arthur Penn, Hal Ashby, Robert Altman, Alan Rudolph, Nic Roeg ... and Bob Rafelson, whose second film this was, following the Jack Nicholson-scripted Monkees extravaganza Head.Seeing FEP again after many years, I am more convinced than ever that it is one of the most soulful, melancholic, truthful films of its period.Others (incl Amazon) have outlined the plot ~ such as it is ~ so this will be a personal response to what I believe to be a key film of the early seventies.Jack Nicholson is an actor who allows himself to take his time, managing to fill a screen with his mere presence, against the odds of (or because of?) his thinning hair, slitted-steely eyes and callow grin. I find his portrayal of the eternally restless son of a wealthy musical family from the Pacific NW one of his most affecting performances. He is never wholly likeable, never wholly unsympathetic either. In fact, he has many moments in which he seems to be the only sane person in sight.He is more than matched by a truly great performance by Karen Black (who was far better known in those days) who never sentimentalises her role as talkative, tactless, needy 'dumb blonde' Ray, and who gives Nicholson/Bobby as good as he gives her. The two spark off each other so well that one longs for the two of them to, as it were, ride off into the sunset together, their differences somehow reconciled. Of course, this is not to be.There are several other wonderful performances, not least Ralph Waite as Bobby's nerdy, well-meaning brother, Susan Anspach as his almost-loyal, plain-speaking wife, Helena Kallianotes as a terminally verbose moaner Bobby and Ray give a lift to, the remarkable Lois Smith as Bobby's nervy sister, and Billy 'Green' Bush as Bobby's co-worker and friend in the early scenes.FEP is a sadly beautiful film both to watch and to look at, artfully chosen shots of the northern American landscape accentuating the sense of lives wasting away, sleepwalking through the American Dream.I disagree profoundly with those who would have us believe this is in some way either a sexist film or one centred wholly on an ungrateful yet privileged man. The women in FEP are never patronised, and are indeed given a voice often unheard in more recent cinema, with its sweaty heroes and CGI gimmickry.The only scene ~ though it's a delicious one ~ which seems a little unearned by what has gone before is when, at the family mansion, an artily pretentious guest is proving what a tactless drone she is, and Bobby {to our delighted relief, I must admit} tells her in so uncertain terms where to get off. It`s just a little too 'set up'.But for the most part, Rafelson rarely puts a foot wrong. He went on to direct the marvellous The King Of Marvin Gardens, then his decline began, all too soon. Five Easy Pieces was and is not only a fine achievement by all concerned, but a key film from a creative moment in American cinema.Do see it! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/64680480-five-easy-pieces-dvd](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/64680480-five-easy-pieces-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
