Where to Watch Young Washington
- thomasrogers753July 16, 2026I really want to know what Shane Gillis’s thoughts on the film is
- ርልዪረAugust 11, 2026Its insane to me that this is the first major motion picture about George Washington. Insane. The history is so fascinating and has so many crazy events that are almost hard to believe actually happened in this time period. Great cast. Loved Kelsey Grammer and Andy Serkis. Serkis was a standout to me. One of the better non-CGI roles I have seen him in. Right up there with Andor for me. Franklin William Miller is shockingly good for it being his first movie. Action was great and felt big scale budget, but I am pretty sure it wasn't a massive budget. I found the changes that they made to history fine. Don't love it being changed, but then when I think "how would you do this in a movie with out making it 4 hours and boring" I really have to give credit to the screen writers. It was tight and really fun. Overall, really strong film with good pace, fun cast and a fascinating part of US history most people don't know much about.
- Kodey PattersonAugust 29, 2026Loved it. Great movie, story, production, all awesome
- Terry LewisSeptember 3, 2026Young Washington isn’t revisionist or edgy—it's a portrait of a young man being shaped by war, great responsibility, and carrying the weight of future greatness.
- ironcrutchliOctober 8, 2026More evangelical nonsense for insecure fake Christians. Woefully inaccurate, boring, and poorly made. Only a complete red hat mush brain could sit through this dreck Btw, Washington despised people like the ones who made this film.
- CWMulherinAugust 19, 2026Loved this movie enough to watch it again. I love historical pieces even when they embellish it. Very well acted, costume and design, location views, and in this day and age how boring Mr Washington may have been back in the day, they really brought him to life….
- macaronzSeptember 19, 2026Young Washington turned out to be a good watch with solid acting all around. True to its title, the story focuses specifically on George Washington's early years and has nothing to do with the later American Revolutionary period. Instead, it portrays him participating and commanding as a British officer during the French and Indian conflict. It manages to keep you engaged while dropping some neat historical facts. The action set pieces are top-notch, and man, that climax where bullets graze right through his uniform and he just keeps fighting without any fear is so fun to watch. If you're into historical war dramas, you'll enjoy this for sure.
- sean.speedAugust 20, 2026I liked it. I appreciate movies about our nation's history! It was a family-friendly movie that didn't go too deep but that's fine!
- Pedro CaceresAugust 14, 2026Great movie that talks Washington’s early life that isn’t talked about much
- ThegreatwhiteySeptember 15, 2026Rarely is there a movie this good these days. They definitely took some liberties, especially with the accuracy of the muskets. It seems like every shot was accurate, but other than that an awesome movie.
- JJCJ1985September 11, 2026Cool historical action drama centered around George Washington. Made me want to research Washington’s story.
- barryl36September 9, 2026I liked it enough to see it twice in the theater. I've had my fill.
