George Washington
“Down this twisted road, please watch over my soul and lift me up so gently so as not to touch the ground.”
Drama
Set in the landscape of a rural southern town, "George Washington" is a stunning portrait of how a group of young kids come to grips with a hard world of choices and consequences. During an innocent game in an abandoned amusement park, a member of the group dies. Narrated by one of the children, the film follows the kids as they struggle to balance their own ambitions and relationships against a tragic lie.
VIBE
A quiet, sun-drenched summer afternoon turns heavy with unspoken truths. This film feels like a hazy memory of childhood, tinged with the melancholy of growing up too fast in a small town where innocence is fragile.
