Critic Reviews for We Are Boats

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (3)

Much better in theory than execution.

March 8, 2019 | Full Review…

Frank Scheck
Hollywood Reporter
Despite noble intentions, writer-director James Bird's film contains a few too many less-than-engaging or compelling characters and situations to warrant the leap it takes to buy into this at times ridiculous and pretentious tale.

Gary Goldstein
Los Angeles Times
What is there left to be said about We Are Boats? Too much muchness, indeed.

July 8, 2019 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Bobby LePire
Film Threat
We Are Boats is an intriguing drama more for what it says and, in effect, gets its audience to ponder than for what it does.

Douglas Davidson
Elements of Madness
When it's time to reflect on the films of 2019, it might be hard to find more movies with as much heart as this piece.

EJ Moreno
Flickering Myth
Developing a complicated and layered story could be overwhelming, but Bird's vision carefully and thoughtfully delves deeply into life with magnetic characters all of whom we can relate on some level
