Glastonbury Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Arthur Ryel-Lindsey
It's hard to pin down the intent and even the honesty of the filmmaker.
Oregonian
Shawn Levy
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.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Duane Dudek
An alternately rousing and repetitive 138-minute documentary spanning four decades of the Glastonbury Festival.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The sense of total immersion is breathlessly complete.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Bill White
... captures the open-air rock festival experience more completely than any previous film of its kind.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
... as muddy as Yasgur's farm back in the day.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
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.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
What [Temple] does...is immerse his audience in the spirit of the festival with ingenious editing that shows the Glastonbury Festival as nothing short of a geographically bound society that just happens to exist for a few days a year.

Matt Pais
While the movie will clarify whether or not the fest is for you, you never feel like you're actually there.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
The movie's 135 minutes [feels] long. But the length is a product of [director] Temple's desire to cram in as much as he can. Despite the festival's drawbacks, it's obvious Temple loves everything about it. Even Coldplay.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
The portrait is spectacular and inclusive, if sometimes a bit overwhelming and confusing.
Reel.com
Pam Grady
Overlong, unfocused, and shallow, it is less a film than a test of endurance.
San Francisco Chronicle
Joel Selvin
A warm and witty, detailed look at this parallel universe.
TheWorldJournal.com
Frank Ochieng
Temple is able to convey a perceptive and substantive mood pertaining to the staying power of this weirdly nuanced outdoor finger-snapping function.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
The film is clearly an act of boosterism, and it makes a pretty good case for the Glastonbury cause.
Los Angeles Daily News
Glenn Whipp
Julien Temple's formless documentary Glastonbury aims to capture the festival's chaos and free-wheeling freakiness and accomplishes this goal.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
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.
The Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
The rest is a mishmash of sequences from many different sources including homemade video going back to the 1970s and stitched together at random.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A long, structureless muddle that does justice to neither the stellar acts nor changing countercultural times event has encompassed.
