Consensus: Featuring numerous 60s-era clichés, but little of the musical magic that highlighted the famous festival, Taking Woodstock is a breezy but underwhelming portrayal.

Reviews for Taking Woodstock
A minor work from Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee that is enjoyable but ultimately underwhelming.
11/13/09
This may be a minor movie, but it displays the hallmarks of a major talent.
11/13/09
Achieves the highly improbable by making one of the most exciting events of the 1960s look really boring.
11/13/09
A rare misfire for the usually reliable Lee.
11/13/09
Taking Woodstock is entertaining, funny but also very slight film. Unlike the real Woodstock, it won’t change lives or burn in the memory.
11/13/09
his is by no means a terrible film, but from a filmmaker as exceptional as Ang Lee it's a rare disappointment.
11/13/09
Taking Woodstock will leave the unstoned cold and won’t have anyone aching for those legendary ‘three days of peace and music’ that wasn’t there in the first place.
11/13/09
Some will revel in it, but (younger) viewers may find Taking Woodstock old hat.
11/13/09
Ang Lee's latest dissection of the American dream is one of his most complex and even most deceptively subversive films.
11/13/09
Their roles are played largely for easy laughs in James Schamus's script, which meanders in an echo of the freewheeling vibe of peace and love.
11/13/09
Undermining the entire snooze-fest is Lee and Schamus's sentimental, clichéd view of Woodstock as the last flowering of hippie innocence.
11/13/09
Ang Lee’s attempt to put the Swinging Sixties on the screen with love, respect and a dash of humour is a distinct disappointment.
11/13/09
If this is Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee's attempt at comedy he should stick to heavy drama.
11/13/09
A damp squib, thrown fizzling into the memory arena of the world’s pioneer rock festival.
11/13/09
Lee wants to combine a landmark moment with a coming-of-age story, but his style here is so loose and rambling it's impossible to sense the excitement of the former and the particularity of the latter.
11/13/09
Lee is a superb director, and finds something resonant in every scene, drawing out telling details in relationships and situations while letting the actors create characters that continually surprise us.
11/13/09
Lee's film, rambling and maddeningly vague as it often is, does manage eventually to get at why something so ephemeral meant so much to so many.
11/13/09
A watchable drama with likeable performances but it never quite comes together, thanks to an unfocussed screenplay that stumbles badly in the second half.
