The 2017 American documentary film “Long Strange Trip” delves into the fascinating journey of the iconic rock band, the Grateful Dead. The film made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2017. The film had a one-night only nationwide screening on May 25, 2017. Following that, it had a week-long limited theatrical release in New York and Los Angeles starting on May 26. The film was released as a six-part miniseries and was made accessible on Amazon Prime Video on June 2, 2017.

In his review for Variety, Owen Gleiberman describes the film as having the length and depth of a captivating Dead show, while still maintaining a focused and sincere approach to documentary storytelling…. Enthusiasts will thoroughly analyze and discuss it, carefully examining every inclusion and omission, but the most compelling endorsement I can offer for the movie is this: I’m someone who typically dislikes the Grateful Dead… yet I found Long Strange Trip captivating. It was a revelation, allowing me to truly see, feel, and comprehend the messy magnificence of their work, even though my ears still perceive their music as repetitive roots-rock background noise.

In Vanity Fair, Jordan Hoffman describes the first half of the film as a conventional yet impeccably crafted rock documentary. It delves into the band’s formation, their journey in discovering their unique sound, and the challenges and triumphs they encountered along the way. Following the intermission, the story takes a surprising and deeply moving turn as it delves into the complexities of overwhelming public admiration and the challenges that come with being famous. It’s safe to say that the film truly comes to life, so to speak… However, it is undeniable that Bar-Lev has achieved something remarkable with his film. It has the power to captivate even those who typically dismiss the free-spirited individuals associated with the counterculture movement. Perhaps, it may even inspire them to let loose and embrace the joyous spirit by joining in on a dance.

According to Robin Abcarian in the Los Angeles Times, it is highly unlikely that viewers will come away from Long Strange Trip, Amir Bar-Lev’s extraordinary four-hour documentary on the Grateful Dead, without developing a deeper admiration for the band’s music and its significance in American popular culture.
