Metacritic

80

Though there's considerable footage of hippie activity (crafting kites, sleeping) and moments of prelapsarian frisson (a cop warns that there's talk of the Hell's Angels coming down), the film is resolutely performance-driven.

It captures their magic with a freewheeling spontaneity that became a model for later pop-music movies.
