If you are going to steal, steal from the best. Inspired by Terrence Malick nearly to tbe point of litigation, “George Washington” has tone out the ying-yang. Unlike Malick, there are occasional attempts at hardcore realism thrown in. Then there are some quirky dialogue moments reminiscent of Hal Hartley. To quote the Emporer, “Too many notes.” Overall, though, quite good — very unique movie with good performances and some very nice scenes. I did have that little taste in my mouth at the end — the one that goes, “Yeah? So? Your point being?” But I am going to overlook that. There’s enough that’s truly wonderful to give this a hardy “A-.”
