Easy Rider

“Fonda and Hopper’s now-classic film hit the old guard with the force of a rifle shot to the head. [Review of re-release]”

“Someday it was inevitable that a great film would come along, utilizing the motorcycle genre, the same way the great Westerns suddenly made everyone realize they were a legitimate American art form, Easy Rider is the picture.”

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 100

“A finely observed film but insufficiently developed as a satire of middle America. [Review of re-release]”

“Not only emblematic of independent American cinema, but, released in 1969, is the definitive statement on the death of the 60s.”

Christopher Machell, CineVue · 100

“Many of the movies made in the wake of Easy Rider were more accomplished, more sophisticated, and more aesthetically mature. But Easy Rider itself still feels vital, because it was made by people who’d spent years learning what couldn’t be done, before deciding to do it anyway.”
