Young Washington Movie Review | Venice Beach News

A new Angel Studios blockbuster, “Young Washington,” drops this Fourth of July, diving into the gritty, faith-driven origins of America’s first president. Directed by Jon Erwin, the film follows a 23-year-old George Washington in the French and Indian War, blending brutal battle scenes with a mythic, almost Game of Thrones-style tone. Flashbacks reveal his humble beginnings after his father’s death, his self-taught rise through British ranks, and his unwavering moral compass — shaped by divine purpose and family devotion. While it paints Washington as a noble, saintly figure who treats all — including enslaved people and Native allies — with dignity, critics question its depth. Rated PG-13 for war violence, it’s marketed as a patriotic summer spectacle — but is it more history lesson than Hollywood hit?
