Our take

Loosely based on a real story, Ang Lee’s joyful rendition of the days spent preparing Woodstock festival—and the major cultural phenomenon that followed—is the kind of film you wish you had been cast for! LSD tripping, logistical nightmares and hippies a-gogo all make for a fun and energizing time!
