'Newport & the Great Folk Dream' Review: A Rapturous Documentary Shows You Why the Newport Folk Festival Was Electric Even When It Was Acousti by Owen Gleiberman

"Newport & the Great Folk Dream" is a rapturous documentary " elegant and transporting, full of scratchy lyrical black-and-white images and performances that have a timeless power. The movie tells the story of the Newport Folk Festival from the pivotal years of 1963 to 1966, and when I say that it "tells the story," I mean that there's a surprisingly sharp and resonant narrative at play we haven't seen before.
