Fifteen young sailors... six months of intense training... one chance at the brass ring. This documentary tells the story of a group of intrepid and determined young men and women, on the cusp of adulthood, as they embark on life's first great adventure. Racing a high-performance 52-foot sloop in the TRANSPAC, the most revered of open-ocean sailing competitions, the crew of "Morning Light" matches wits and skills in a dramatic 2300 mile showdown against top professionals. From their earliest training sessions in Hawaii conducted by world-class teachers through their test of endurance on the high seas, they form an unbreakable bond in the process of becoming a singular team that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Leave your thoughts about Morning Light.
| OregonianM.E. RussellThe camera can only film the on-deck action from so many angles before it gets repetitive. The musical score is pabulum. Race technology and tactics are barely explored, and you never get a sense of the larger field of competitors. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowIt has a lot of postcard-pretty pictures of glorious sunsets and fresh-faced kids. But for a movie about a lot of hard work, it is rather laid back. |
| L.A. WeeklyTim GriersonTwo unnerving phenomena--the popularity of reality-TV competitions and the Walt Disney Company's ability to churn out entertainment starring the most squeaky-clean humans on earth--come together in Morning Light, a nightmarishly upbeat documentary. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisLike the disastrously overpopulated "Amazing Race: Family Edition," Morning Light never finds a way to make us care who wins. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseA vanity project...[but also] a sincere love letter to sailing, as seen through the eyes of a handful of very lucky youngsters. [Blu-ray] |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaAn OK sports doc that owes as much to reality TV competitions as it does to the genre of nautical cinema. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghIf you don't speak the jargon of sailing and racing, most of the conversations between teammates mean very little. Impenetrable editing reduces the action to a meaningless blur. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanA Disney movie about a Disney project, this slick sailing documentary feels a little too self-promotional, almost like an attraction you might stumble into at Epcot. But at least it turns out to be a fairly wild ride. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsGlenn WhippA beautifully photographed documentary about a group of freshly scrubbed youngsters coming together for a grueling sailing competition. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanMorning Light, sailor's delight. All others be forewarned. |
