Gentle, genial and about as memorable as a mild reefer high, ?Taking Woodstock? takes a backdoor approach to revisit the landmark musical weekend through the antics and efforts of some of the people who made it happen. A sort of let?s-put-on-a-show summer-camp lark for director Ang Lee after the dramatic rigors of ?Brokeback Mountain? and ?Lust, Caution,? the picture serves up intermittent pleasures but is too raggedy and laid-back for its own good, its images evaporating nearly as soon as they hit the screen. Set for release in August on the 40th anniversary of the event, the Focus release looks like a mild B.O. contender. 13 years 9 months ago -

A family drama and a world changing event, where the drama is equally important. "Maybe it's the most important event in the universe right now."
I found it quite refilling to see a movie about Woodstock, and festivals in general, with a focus - not on the music -but the people behind the festival.
All in all we're all just a bunch of naked hippies wanting to break free. 5 years 5 months ago
