Reviews for George Washington
Top Critic Stylized to the point of poetry, David Gordon Green's impressive debut fuses the lyricism of Terence Malick with Harmony Korine's willingness to poke around the garbage-strewn landscape of the American underclass.

Undistinguished and uninvolving attempt to offer a rural spin on Kids.

Top Critic Amid languorous style, the story gets lost, which is a pity because it could have been a nice quirky one.
07/17/07
Poetic, patient and beautiful, it's an astoundingly mature film from 25 year old debutant director Green.

The film absorbs elements of documentary and improvisation to produce a remarkably organic whole.

Top Critic It's possible to keep one's feet on the ground and still appreciate the film's quiet verbal and visual poetry.

Top Critic Has the feeling of a breathing issue of National Geographic as told threw the words of George Steinbeck and through the brush of Norman Rockwell.

Whether George Washington is a false dawn or the start of a whole new hope it remains one of the films of the year. Dream with it while you can.

Beautifully-photographed, lyrical film by debut director David Gordon Green -- definitely a talent to watch.

It's nicely filmed, especially in the places where kid's-eye views of machinery, fields, and junk yards are seen.

Top Critic Combines the earthy lyricism of Terrence Malick with the muted eccentricities of a young David Lynch… a [gorgeous], quietly idealistic tale of adolescent soul-searching.
08/27/02
One of the most striking and affecting American independent films of the year, heralding the arrival of a formidable young talent in Green.
