Die Burger Mariana Malan Aweregse fliek oor Woodstock te pragtig | 15 | |

Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert | 15 | |
eye Weekly Jason Andersons Atypically ambling, only intermittently involving and hampered by a kind of smiley-faced slackness that, to be fair to Lee, probably goes with the mud-strewn territory. | 5 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs The film is easy enough to watch, but it never really amounts to anything, which is something of a shame considering the cultural significance of the big music event that's always just around the corner or over the horizon from this offering. | 10 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Featuring numerous 60s-era clichés, but little of the musical magic that highlighted the famous festival, Taking Woodstock is a breezy but underwhelming portrayal. | 10 | |
