“We must be in heaven, man.”Michael Wadleigh’s Woodstock is a sprawling landmark concert-documentary that captures the spirit of the youth of the late '60s and the signalling of the end of that halcyon. Edited by both Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker and partially…

It's a spiritual experience rather than a traditional documentary. And certainly not something I could easily slap a definite score on. Surely the 4-hour-ish runtime wasn't a cakewalk, but somehow it was breezier than I hoped. It was a really unique one for me. It is…
vividswiftMar 13, 2021When I was about 9 or 10, I decided to tape over a VHS that my dad had recorded the Woodstock documentary on with Rock-a-Doodle. I didn't know what "W O O D S T O C K" was and I don't think he ever noticed the change-up. So a few months later when I was ready for another…
Bob McCullyMay 5, 2016Part of End of the Semester Epics (Director's Cut) I didn't really know much about Woodstock growing up, only being aware that it was a massive three day rock concert that somehow "changed rock and roll forever." Only until recently have I ever really considered how it…

Woodstock is one of the greatest spectacles and social experiments ever caught on film. Several hundred thousand people overtook a small sleepy farm (then town) in upstate New York for a weekend in August, catching most everyone off guard by the size of the turnout. Then…
DBCNov 9, 2020Michael Wadleigh’s documentary film chronicles the titular three-day rock concert and pivotal moment of sixties counterculture quite brilliantly. Its inspired and productive employment of split screens enabled the editors, which included Martin Scorsese, to exhibit the…
Paul ElliottJun 11, 2021Watching this in its full four-hour glory with my father is an experience I would not trade for anything, except maybe to be there myself. I have never seen any film, whether narrative or nonfiction, that is more immersive. You feel crushed in with the crowd, you feel the…

It’s amazing how times can change but a movie like this can still capture the energy of the moment. Truly showing all sides and angles of Woodstock, this is a complete journey, regardless of your take on hippie culture.
Orlando Ramone lovedWoodstockAlthough it’s a little too long and for the most part, the filmmakers decided not to add some of the acts’ biggest hit songs (instead opting for “deep cuts”), I absolutely love this documentary!
Jennifer Facenda lovedWoodstockEssential viewing for anyone in their hippie era. So many iconic performances in this one. Jimi Hendrix made guitar cool and sexy 👀

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]
