Reviews for George Washington
The undernourished script is little more than a series of slow-paced, opaque character sketches that lead nowhere.
01/01/00
The sort of picture that murkily suggests all sorts of deep meanings because it's fundamentally incoherent.
07/30/01
Too eager and too ambitious to be a classic.

You want to like the film more, but, unfortunately, it just moves too slowly, not enough happens and the characters just don't have enough interesting or original things to say.
09/24/01
Amid languorous style, the story gets lost, which is a pity because it could have been a nice quirky one.
07/17/07
Undistinguished and uninvolving attempt to offer a rural spin on Kids.

Top CriticA film that fails to satisfy on any level.
01/01/00
A gracious sleepwalk of a movie that could have used a firmer strut.
09/26/02
Top CriticThe movie isn't about much of anything, which you will find out if you can manage to stay awake.
01/31/01
The film absorbs elements of documentary and improvisation to produce a remarkably organic whole.
06/24/06
a work of imagination demonstrating an original voice and cinematic vision that mark Green as a filmmaker to watch
02/01/01
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
An abstract, symbolic title is perfect for such an abstract, symbolic movie.
08/09/01
So urgent it's hard to ignore
02/01/01
A film that, while sometimes maddeningly incomprehensible, is evocative, elegant and beautiful.
02/14/01
In its simplicity and realism, the film scores points.
05/28/02
George Washington is the closest thing we have to William Faulkner on screen
03/17/02
Mr. Green has a sense of proportion and taste. No scene goes on for a beat longer than it should.
