Synopsis

Spoiler shield

This 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.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”

Editor Avner Shiloah shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.
