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.
