Critic Reviews
Young Washington Review: Revolution on the Fourth of July
★★★☆☆
Jon Erwin's French and Indian War origin story finds a charismatic George Washington in William Franklyn-Miller, even when the history turns into musket-firing spectacle.
A patriotic crowd-pleaser that critics find uneven — audiences disagree.
