Reviews
Critical reception of "The Boat Builder" has been mixed, with reviewers generally appreciating the performances but noting the film's slow pace and modest production scale. On IMDb, the movie holds a rating of 5.8/10 based on viewer scores, reflecting a range of opinions. Some critics praised Christopher Lloyd's nuanced performance, describing it as "engaging enough to carry the film despite its uneven storytelling" (IMDb user review). However, others felt the narrative lacked sufficient tension and depth to fully realize its emotional potential. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an official rating due to limited reviews, indicating the film's status as a smaller, independent release.
