This film is charming, showing that Jane Fonda is still alive and kicking. She plays the role of Grace, a hippie grandmother living in, of course, Woodstock, NY. She and her daughter, Diane, played by Catherine Keener, have not spoken in twenty years. It seems Diane had her mother arrested for selling pot to Diane's wedding party. As extreme as this seems, it is even stranger to me, that the wise woman Jane plays hasn't reached out to her daughter and to her two grandchildren, in twenty years
Woodstock is as you would expect, idyllic and enchanting, except hippies were shipped in to make the town look more believable.
Diane is dumped by her husband and she brings the grandchildren home to visit grannie. Granny is not like any of ours, she is involved in making pottery, smoking and selling pot and all the usual things hippie do. Soon, mom and daughter are involved in love affairs, and grandson makes a film. All of this a little unwieldy,,true. A simple film, wasted on the talents of Jane Fonda and Catherine Keener.
Recommended if you smoke pot or are a hippie. prisrob 04-22-13

This film was one I drifted upon and am so glad I did. It's so lovely and wonderfully insightful into the generation gap and how they each see things from different perspectives of life ...
I want to move into the Grandmas house ... and can also relate to the mother children aspect going through huge change... Brilliantly acted and well scripted... excellent .. Just wish you could get the soundtrack x

Diane (Catherine Keener) is an uptight lawyer who has rejected her mother's hippie life style. Jane Fonda stars as Grace, the mom who still lives at Woodstock...literally and figuratively. She recalls the concert in correct vivid detail, from the rain that came down when the Grateful Dead played to the closing with Jimi Hendrix playing the National Anthem...when her water broke and she gave birth to Diane.
Diane is informed by her husband he wants a divorce, and for some reason, after 20 years she decides to visit Grace along with her two children. Jake (Nat Wolff) is the son who proclaims "It's about time" when he hears about the divorce. Zoe the daughter (Elizabeth Olsen) has trouble adjusting to the idea.
While at Woodstock the kids get along great with the hippie life style of grandma while Diane is reminded about why she left. All of them meet love interests.
This was a role made for Jane Fonda who lived her part. Elizabeth Olsen gives us another great performance, putting herself in a different class than her sisters. A feel good film, more for women then men.
Parental Guide: No f-bombs, implied sex, brief male rear nudity. Pot use. Left wing politics.
