Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: The portrait is spectacular and inclusive, if sometimes a bit overwhelming and confusing. Read more

Keith Phipps, AV Club: The film is clearly an act of boosterism, and it makes a pretty good case for the Glastonbury cause. Read more

Ty Burr, Boston Globe: ... as muddy as Yasgur's farm back in the day. Read more

Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: The overall soundtrack seamlessly patches together a sonic quilt of eclectic music that evokes a kind of timeless flow. It's not a Glastonbury of any particular vintage, but rather a continuum of experiences that have occurred on this sacred ground. Read more

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Read more

Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle: A warm and witty, detailed look at this parallel universe. Read more

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Read more
