Music Box: Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary
Watch TrailerThis documentary chronicles the rise, fall, and rise again of the soft rock epitomized by artists such as Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, and Toto in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Retroactively dubbed "Yacht Rock," the easy-listening genre came to be gently mocked and even dismissed by rock lovers and critics. However, it has since reclaimed its place in music history and is celebrated in this groove-infused film.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative by relying on a wealth of archival footage and candid interviews with the genre's architects. It explores the curious journey of a sound designed for smooth sailing, through its period of ridicule and back to cultural rehabilitation.
What lingers after viewing is an appreciation for the studio craftsmanship behind the seemingly effortless grooves and a recognition of the genre's enduring, complex appeal. — MovieFinder Editorial
