Luke Slattery reviews from "Boys on the Boat":

  • “Slattery now stands at the precipice as an actor with a film that will take his national recognition into the next stratosphere.”

    - The Denver Gazette

  • “It's on the water, with coxswain Bobby Moch (Luke Slattery) urging his boys through a megaphone that Clooney finds his sweet spot.”

    - Peter Travers

  • “Thank heavens for Luke Slattery as the coxswain Bobby Moch....[he] instantly screams some life into this picture.”

    - The New York Times

  • “It wasn't just the characters that made the audience root for them, but their development throughout the movie. My favorite Instance of this was the growth of Robert Moch, played by Luke Slattery.”
