Good Indie Movie - George Washington review by TE
This is a fine depiction of the lives of a group of black (and blue collar white) children. There is a pervasive sense of abandonment and a wait for something to happen. When a tragic "something" does happen there is a very realistic retreat into despair on the one hand and wild fantasy on the other.
The film doesn't dictate emotions, it presents a story and leaves it to us to draw conclusions. A very assured and absorbing film.

A well crafted indie - George Washington review by CP Customer
George Washington may not be to everyone's taste and even die hard indie fans may find it a little hard going, but if you like gently paced artistic films then it's worth a look.
