Review & Comments

Leave your thoughts about Magic Trip: Ken Kesey's Search for a Kool Place.

Movie Reviews

Seattle Times - 10/10 by Paul de BarrosThis is the story of sunny, casual West Coast visionary utopians, told from the inside out.

Television Without Pity - 9/10 by Ethan AlterWhile the movie doesn't offer any new insights into the era, it is a trip to see the home movies they shot on the road and hear them reminisce about their experiences.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzAll the film can do is suggest to us what a "long, strange trip" it has been, thereby echoing the lyrics in the Grateful Dead song.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 8/10 by Joe WilliamsNeither as magic nor as trippy as the culture quake that it documents, but it's a valuable flashback and a pleasurable contact high.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 8/10 by Duane DudekAlex Gibney and Alison Ellwood manage to cut through the underbrush of this incoherent material to create a clear, if repetitive, through-line and put it into context, with footnote-type stops for side trips of social and historic significance.

Portland Oregonian - 8/10 by Shawn LevyThe film is a lively and absorbing document, filled with jaw-dropping materials, such as an actual audio recording of Kesey's first LSD trip in a Stanford University lab.

ViewLondon - 8/10 by Matthew TurnerImpressively directed and expertly assembled, this is an engaging and frequently amusing snapshot of an iconic counter-cultural event that should appeal strongly to fans of the period.

Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanIt's like seeing the birth of the '60s, with great moments (including Neal Cassady doing speed-freak monologues).

San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleThe period footage shows all the principals, including Neal Cassady, who was only 38 but looked 52. Ken Kesey emerges as the film's hero - he is presented as a great American adventurer, the psychological equivalent of Lewis and Clark. Maybe that's not as ridiculous as it sounds.

Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Steven ReaIt's the lysergic soap opera going on among Kesey, Neal Cassady, and various pals, scribes, spouses, and hangers-on piled onto the rainbow-hued school bus that's at the heart of this rollicking road pic.
