The Man Before the Legend

Young Washington was brilliant. I genuinely enjoyed this movie.

William Franklyn Miller, who plays the young George Washington, was terrific. He was handsome, kind, ambitious, and most importantly, believable. What I appreciated most was that the film did not begin with the larger than life George Washington we all know from our history books. Instead, we meet a young man who is still trying to figure out who he is, where he belongs, and how he is going to make something of himself.
