Move Ya Body: The Birth of House

Watched at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

Elegance Bratton's exploration of the Disco Demolition Night and how House music was involved is an solid, yet, familiar and basic tale that offers some good insights about it's historical context. Bratton's passionate direction and approach of the topics are well-developed as his direction on approaching the tone and topics explored are straight forward and clear. Using good discussions, it offers a good insight for the historical context of that period and why it shaped the music and United States, especially amongst the 1970s.

Admittedly, the documentary isn't something grand as some of the structure is basic, and certain aspects felt as if they are repetitive or pulled straight from the Wikipedia site. But overall, it's a decent documentary that highlights the period.
