Review of Five Easy Pieces (1970) by Gene Siskel for Chicago Tribune — 18 Jan 2013
What is more striking about the film is that its secondary characters are also real. The acting appears to be non-acting. . . . Karen Black is a letter-perfect Rayette, and Lois Smith, as Robert's sister, gives the most sensitive small performance in the film.
(Jack) Nicholson makes it all go. He proves he is more than a character actor with many scenes, especially the confrontation with his father.
