Atom User Reviews for WOODSTOCK (1970) 50th Anniversary Director's Cut
Lots of fun
There were other bands like Blood Sweat and Tears, left out!
Fun film. Wish it has more music. I would watch it again
Great to see on the big screen. Sound was great too !
Brought back memories.
I first saw Woodstock on the 25th Anniversary and have been to screenings at 40 and 45 so 50 was a MUST. What a magic moment in time. Music unites people. What a blessing to have this slice of history on film to witness on the big screen. Beautiful print, great sound. Almost felt like being there!
I wish it had a bit more music and less misc. interviews.
Brought me back to all of the people I listened to on my albums.
Well done!
Metacritic
The remarkable thing about Wadleigh's film is that it succeeds so completely in making us feel how it must have been to be there. [2005]
Terrific concert documentary...The film that resulted — a roughly though not strictly chronological document of the much-publicized event — is an outstanding documentary, a joyful musical experience and a playful artifact of an era. [2019]
Describing Woodstock as a concert movie is a little like calling Notre Dame a house of worship. In its scope and grandeur, its feel for the paradoxical nature of an event in which half a million middle-class bohemians created their own scruffy, surging community — a metropolis of mud — Woodstock remains the one true rock-concert spectacle, a counterculture Triumph of the Will. [1994]
