Critics' reviews
- "'Taking Woodstock' has the freshness of something being created, not remembered"
- "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"
- "This is very light material, and, unusually for a Lee picture, not everybody in the ensemble appears to be acting in the same universe, let alone the same story. On the other hand: It’s fun"
- "A choppy and occasionally unsure film, one that doesn't achieve the superb tonal control of 'The Ice Storm'"
- "A love letter to the time, and the period, and the legend that has grown around both. Maybe it's all too wonderful to be true, but that's OK"
- "A thoughtful, playful, often amusing film about what happened backstage at one of the '60s' great happenings."
