Peace, Love & Misunderstanding

Peace, Love & Misunderstanding is Elizabeth Olsen's third film, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2011.

Plot Summary
When her husband tells her he wants a divorce, devastated Manhattan lawyer Diane heads upstate with her two teens to Woodstock to stay with her estranged hippie mother. In this charming village, Diane and her city kids get a new perspective on life: poetry-reading daughter Zoe becomes interested in a sensitive young butcher Cole, nerdy son Jake finds material for his first film project, and Diane herself grows close to a handsome carpenter/singer Jude. Most importantly, Diane finally gets the chance to end the ancient war with the mother she has not seen for 2 decades.

Trivia

 * Jane Fonda's character in the movie attended the Woodstock Festival in 1969 while pregnant. Her water broke during Jimi Hendrix's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Catherine Keener, who plays the daughter, was actually born in 1959 - 10 years before her character.
 * Even though it was released after two other films, in which she appeared, this is Elizabeth Olsen's first feature film acting job.
 * The butcher, for whom Cole works, is named Mr. Fleischer. "Fleischer" is the German word for "butcher."
 * In this movie, Jane Fonda plays an eccentric hippie named Grace, who has an uptight daughter, with whom she doesn't get along. In Grace and Frankie (2015), Jane Fonda plays an uptight woman named Grace who doesn't exactly always get along with Lily Tomlin's character, Frankie, who is an eccentric hippie.
 * Maddie Corman, who plays Carole, is first seen at a peace rally in the middle of Woodstock. In PCU (1994), she plays one of the Womynists, who protests everything as well.
