Leave your thoughts about Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics.
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanAs goofy as it is good-natured, “Good Trip” aims to entertain, not educate, as it presents a star-studded parade of celebrity reminiscences about taking hallucinogenic drugs. Mostly, it succeeds. |
| The A.V. ClubCharles BramescoThe best bits come from the unexpected faces, however, as both Carrie Fisher and Anthony Bourdain return from beyond the veil to extol the upsides of mind-altering substances. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt’s flippant and glib, sure. But there are too many dead people in it for it to make its “so very safe” point. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAs a harmless time-waster, Good Trip has its charms, but also its oversold shtick. |
| TheWrapSteve PondWhile Have a Good Trip tries really, really hard to not fall into the usual traps that make putting hallucinatory experiences on screen look silly, it can’t help itself. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThose looking for much in the way of real insight will find this amiable enterprise doesn’t stray very far from a general, standard-stoner-yuks tenor of “OMG I was SO HIGH!!!” |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichLike most bad trips, Cary’s documentary is ultimately harmless. And like most bad trips, you realize something’s gone wrong after just a few minutes, and then start to freak out that it’s never going to end. |
| The New York TimesJason BaileyWith no real thesis or through-line, the movie winds up being little more than a series of revue-style blackout sketches, lengthy digressions and dead ends. |
| The Associated PressMark KennedyMore concrete examples of how mushrooms or dropping acid aided life are sorely needed. |
| User ReviewMechudo94Loved it! I'm so happy that people are finally talking about the positive things of psychedelics! |
