The nature of solitude and it’s weight. A brilliant film that sets Nicholson’s character against the world but is the world against him?
The performances are spectacular and it leaves you thinking
Slow but mesmerizing film with one of Nicholson’s best performances. The ending is a stunner.
Nicholson is given the opportunity to explore his acting, bringing it to new places here - and it comes across beautifully.
One of the greatest Nicholson films for sure. In this americana family drama, Nicholson is brilliant and delivers one his beat performances
one of my favorite scripts,the acting was great.A lot of memorable monologues like the lady’s rant about filth and bobby’s talk with his dad
One of Nicholson’s finest performances, about one soul destined to wander aimlessly. Simple but beautiful
So good, Jack Nicholson’s performance was unique and intimate
One of the all time classic American films. Jack Nicholson plays the lead role for the first time and kills it. Watch this and be amazed.
This movie was very good. Note the diner scene. 7/10
