Atom User Reviews for The Boys in the Boat
Went with my 88 year old uncle and his friend. All of us stayed awake lol and really enjoyed the movie. True story is amazing. Filming was so good with the rowing scenes. Intense in a good way where we were cheering them on!
Great movie. Would have been better without all the swear words, but it was a great story. I agree it felt a bit rushed, but overall, it was a fantastic story.
We really enjoyed the movie!!
Very true based on the real story! Very well done!

Fantastic movie created with heart. Love the book, love the movie. Will be a part of our movie library.
A great movie
Loved it
Great true story and feel good movie. The book has a stillness and peacefulness that was missing in the movie. I was hoping the movie would capture. It felt a bit rushed and packed together. I still highly recommend it based on the history alone.
Wonderful true story!!!!

No standout performances but a good watch. Great scenery and an easy to follow storyline.
Hoosier on a boat. Best movie we've seen in awhile.

Good movie but liked the book a lot more
Great feel good movie. Very well done.
Good movie, but despite being two hours long it felt rushed. But, great story and looking forward to reading the book now.
Metacritic
It’s not that “The Boys in the Boat” doesn’t have an inspirational impact; it’s that we’re so aware of being pushed in that direction.
The film is an unshowy but slick underdog sports picture, fluidly told and elegantly mounted. It’s about rowing, for chrissakes; it doesn’t have a post-modern or irreverent bone in its body, and for that, we can be at least a little grateful.
Steeped in old-fashioned virtues and a feel-good underdog story, The Boys in the Boat isn’t bad, but it doesn’t ever navigate its way out of the shallow end of the sports-movie pool either.
