TL;DR

“Young Washington” is a 1755 coming‑of‑age military drama from Angel Studios that follows a 23‑year‑old George Washington leading a militia against the French in the Ohio Territory. Styled as a tidy, grade‑school biography with a model‑handsome lead (William Franklyn‑Miller) and supporting turns from Ben Kingsley and Andy Serkis, the film aims for patriotic, neo‑traditional counterprogramming. It’s competently made and watchable but sacrifices historical nuance for feel‑good heroism, delivering a neat but not deeply historical portrait of Washington.
