George Clooney inspires as a director. Here, more than ever. “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,” “Up in the Air,” and “The Tender Bar” are a few of his films. Clooney’s in them, too, because he knows a good story when he sees one and obviously where he best fits. Now, he offers “The Boys in the Boat.” Will it be up for Best Picture? No. But is it worth watching? Without a doubt.
Not knowing too much about the subject matter, wrestling, or not liking the sport, should not keep you from watching this film. It’s an absorbing, often tender film of love and loss, pain and sorrow.
This dark drama is filled with great performances from its writer/director, Christopher Rucinski, to the rest of the crew lending a hand. I’m honored I was asked to review it for you because what it has to say is important, and who made it kept both his story and your entertainment in mind.

This film is Cord Jefferson’s directorial debut. He wrote nine episodes of “Watchman” and twenty-five episodes of “The Good Place” so it was not a shock that this script was very well written and glorious in every way.

In case you didn’t know, the term for the film’s title came from the area surrounding Auschwitz. The Germans labeled the 15 square miles that bordered the concentration camp the Zone of Interest. It’s the perimeter or boundary between the security monitoring setup and the external network.
“The Oath” will bring back memories of “Gladiator,” which isn’t a bad thing since the second Gladiator is on its way. It’s just not as well produced as a Ridley Scott film.
