This one survives on strong performances and Erwin’s confident sense of place — not groundbreaking cinema, but a well-made piece of American cinematic history. Read full review

It’s good—not a knockout by any means, but a modern example of the sort of movie that used to be a permanent asset in Hollywood’s studio portfolio: a well-crafted but accessible biopic about the maturation of a person who helped shape the nation’s image of itself. Read full review

Young Washington gets credit for attempting the impossible and for succeeding too, at least to the extent of being entertaining. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Young Washington informs and illuminates as it passes the time between blasts of action. It’s the life, love and struggle beyond the edges of the screen, events outside of the adventures, social slights and Red Letter Dates that seems lacking. Read full review

Young Washington is just competent enough to create that crisp tug of schoolkid patriotism the books we read as children provided. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you’re not an adult confusing feel-good heroism with the lessons of history. Read full review

The most bracing thing about Young Washington is its commitment to old-fashioned stodginess. Declamatory acting, cleanly stated motivations and a few solidly staged battle sequences are the order of the day. (Personality, humor, a sense of 18th-century texture — less so.) Read full review

There can always be an interesting story to mine from great figures of the past, and while this one doesn’t step into complete hagiography (though it comes close to anointing him as blessed with divinity), it’s far from the nuanced portrait that is more deserved. Read full review
