Moviegoers are saying
This Angel Studios historical drama about young George Washington divides audiences sharply - while critics slam the lead performance as wooden and the script as propaganda-heavy, patriotic viewers are praising it as an inspiring, family-friendly celebration of American values perfectly timed for the nation's 250th anniversary. The film's use of AI-generated content and casting controversies have sparked heated debates about authenticity versus entertainment value.

george washington is rolling in his grave about the fact that he’s played by a british guy instead of a bald black man with a velvety voice
vivdagoat 🍎🍂🐞Jun 22, 2026The subject matter is interesting, and the production values are solid enough — some of the scenes of 18th century warfare are really immersive and intense — but the script and the lead performances just aren’t up to the task. The letterboxd bio for the guy playing George…

Mehhhh it’s alright. It’s not offensively bad or anything, but it’s far from memorable. I was hoping for a bit more pre-revolution epic warfare, but this is heavy on the soap opera level political dynamics. Which is fine, but even when it does what it does it feels…
brybrewJun 13, 2026This movie will be best served during those chill 3 weeks after you’ve taken the APUSH exam.

Washington out here fighting ai armies.
Frasier PerezJun 22, 2026ALRIGHT ALREADY I GET IT THAT A PAWN CAN DEFEAT THE KING. You don’t need to repeat that on the nose line like five times. The actor playing Washington slips out of his accent a noticeable amount of times. Very run of the mill structure and I’m not a historian but it doesn’t…
Nation of MoviesJul 2, 2026✅ 3.3/5 ✅ — Young Washington isn’t the legend yet. But it’s a real step toward one. I love true stories out of the American Revolution. Give me patriotic heroism and impossible odds and I’m locked in. The Patriot is one of my all time favorites for that exact reason, and…

I’m irritated why was there so much Generative Ai?? They were blatantly obvious and distracting. The story was good and the actor’s hot that’s why it’s getting a good score from me no shade😂
Landon Crawford lovedYoung WashingtonPerfect movie for the 4th of July, God bless America 🇺🇸 They nailed and Washington’s character from start to finish. The actor portrayed him very well and the story was a great representation of his perseverance. Wish it would’ve been longer so we could of seen him as President
vezy likedYoung WashingtonYou just went from farmer to major in seconds and now your making demands. Good movie. Thought they touched on the politics of the British and french and their armies well. British thought their soldiers were the best in the world and got a cruel reality check.

7.5/10 I’m not really a history guy, but this movie honestly surprised me! Learning about Washington’s early years was interesting and the major battle scenes were really well done. All the actors did great jobs and there were some surprising big names.
Wesley Modling is "meh" onYoung WashingtonNothing to write home about. His relationships with several of the characters are very inaccurate including his complacency in not getting the officer position (pretty much his whole personal motivation for fighting against England).
Telnar lovedYoung WashingtonA fantastic film! Very inspirational and beautifully designed. You could stop practically any frame and it could be a painting. In places, the plot was a little slow, but overall a fantastic piece of filmmaking. 8.7/10
- WWE President of Personality is "meh" onYoung Washington
It was okay. It had a lot of bad cgi, maybe even used some AI generated images, but what else can we expect. It was hard to get excited because, well, we all know how the story ends.
Zenim dislikedYoung WashingtonAi slop. I actually got up from the theatre and walked out. I’ve never done that before. Such a horrible movie with messy dialogue and horrible acting. Horrible. Just horrible
BUTTERS likedYoung WashingtonSolid Movie. I really enjoyed it. Only bummer is it only covers like a year or two in super depth which left me wanting to see more of his life.

TCTrudy ConnersIt was a great movie. I do think it is time to remind all America's of the pinciples that we were founded on are still imporant today. Let Freedom Ring. This is something that many others country's wish for, but many American's take for granted.
