Critics Consensus: Glastonbury is formless and scattershot, and successful in capturing the festival's raw, wild energy.

... as muddy as Yasgur's farm back in the day.
For all the posers with light sticks and piercings, there are moments of Dada-esque beauty, not to mention some great music from Tinariwen, Bjork, David Bowie and the late, great Joe Strummer.
The portrait is spectacular and inclusive, if sometimes a bit overwhelming and confusing.
A warm and witty, detailed look at this parallel universe.
The film is clearly an act of boosterism, and it makes a pretty good case for the Glastonbury cause.
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.
When a voice-off narration burbles something about a "convergence of the powerlines of the mind", you know you are in the presence of a film that has purchased at the refreshment kiosk of life more than it can consume.
Too long, with too many shots of hands-in-the-air ravers and too much Damien Hirst, Glastonbury is still hugely evocative...
It's hard to pin down the intent and even the honesty of the filmmaker.
Combining images of 30 years of politics, music, self-expression and alternative living, it's a vibrant, if inevitably scattered, film that manages to tread the fine line between chronicling the festival and exploiting it.
An alternately rousing and repetitive 138-minute documentary spanning four decades of the Glastonbury Festival.
The sense of total immersion is breathlessly complete.
