Summary

  • The Boys in the Boat is a visually appealing film with a moving score, but it lacks personality and emotion, making it hard to get invested in the characters' stories.
  • The rowing scenes in the film are engaging and intense, but the overall lack of depth and feeling in the characters leaves the movie feeling detached and dispassionate.
  • The lackluster directing and storytelling strip away the passion, drama, heart, and tension that should be present in a sports biopic, resulting in a muted and unengaging film experience.
