    Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary

    ★★★½

    Devolved into a Steely Dan fanboy movie (and I am a fan of the Dan) but overall pretty interesting

    The convoluted-ness of some Nolan’s movies can be so annoying and by the end of this movie I was begging for it to end. He just gives off a “I’m the smartest person in the room” vibe to the viewer. Meh.

    Saw at Midtown Art Cinema.
    I'm still at a loss for words, but the biggest thing I take away from this movie is how so many directors have tried to mess with time and linear narrative via dream sequences and are obviously trying to emulate this movie. This movie makes Christopher Nolan seem very unoriginal.
    I will probably never know how to fully explain this movie to someone else. And what makes me comfortable about that is that I suspect that the "not knowing" is a major theme/point of the movie. I'm going to be thinking about this one for a long time.

    Easily the worst movie I’ve watched in 2020 with some of the most awkward sex scenes I’ve seen in a long time. This ruined Mother’s Day.
