Reviews for George Washington
It looks unusually good for an indie (it was shot in 35mm and widescreen) and it has some wonderfully naturalistic scenes.

Brave and thoughtful and aesthetically pleasing.

With a kind of eerie beauty and simplicity, David Gordon Green captures a slice of American life in this truly original film.
01/27/02
A shockingly powerful film and, better yet, manages to do so in under 90 minutes.

On the basis of this stunningly impressive feature debut, [director Green] is set to become a Terrence Malick for the 21st century, reviving the values of artistry and reflectiveness in American indie cinema.

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
An abstract, symbolic title is perfect for such an abstract, symbolic movie.
08/09/01
Less a traditional movie than a lyrical photo essay of fictional characters in a world so real it's almost surreal, George Washington deserves to be seen simply because it's not quite like anything that's come before.
07/31/01
The sort of picture that murkily suggests all sorts of deep meanings because it's fundamentally incoherent.
07/30/01
A work of startling originality that will haunt you for a good, long time.
05/10/01
Top CriticToo eager and too ambitious to be a classic.

A work of uncommon beauty and intelligence, one that is smart enough to trust its characters and the technical contributions of its crew.
02/27/01
A film that, while sometimes maddeningly incomprehensible, is evocative, elegant and beautiful.
02/14/01
A film that feels truly unusual, refreshing, and ultimately affecting.
02/14/01
Haunts and intrigues at every turn.
