I loved pretty much everything in this movie, but all that split screen stuff was really annoying.  During the opening credits it was ok, but throughout the movie it was incredibly distracting to me. 

It's a minor complaint, but still, very confusing as to aesthetically "why."

It's an homage to the original documentary film, Woodstock (1970), which had a great deal of split screen.  I thought it was used appropriately when the scenes were meant to feel overwhelming.

Oh.
"As a matter of fact I only work with the feeling of something magical, something seemingly significant. And to keep it magical I don't want to know the story involved, I just want the hypnotic effect of it somehow seeming significant without knowing why." - Len Lye

just saw it and really enjoyed it. i was the only one in the theater.

spoilers

The LSD scene was appropriately overwhelming but not schlocky. I hate when movies try to depict drug experiences but this one was pretty spot on. loved the shot of the field turning into a giant wave.  It's no classic but I was genuinely moved by several scenes (particularly the father saying goodbye)
