Reviews
Magic Trip has received mixed reviews from critics. While some praise the film for its archival footage that offers a fascinating look at the counterculture movement, others find it lacking in depth and context. The documentary has an IMDb rating of 6.8/10, a Rotten Tomatoes score of 72%, and a Metacritic rating of 59/100. Variety described it as 'a psychedelic ode to a generation', highlighting the film's nostalgic and experimental nature. On the other hand, The Hollywood Reporter criticized the lack of coherence and substantial insight. Despite its flaws, Magic Trip remains an intriguing time capsule of a pivotal moment in American history.
