The Boys in the Boat



I liked the book more, but the movie is very good. It was filmed in the Coltswalds, not Washington state. The male actors are mostly from the UK and Australia. Given George Clooney lives in the UK, the actual locals have changed over the years, and they got a big tax incentive to film there, it makes sense. 

My biggest criticism is the CGI of 1930s main boating locations of Lake Washington, Poughkeepsie (the conifers they put in on the banks looked more PNW than Hudson River Valley), and Berlin did not seem all that believable (but the film was a limited budget and it still works). It is still a very good movie and I recommend it.  



She was very good as the romance interest of Joe Rants.
