'Young Washington' Review: Angel Studios' Panhandling Undermines a Passable Biopic
By
William Bibbiani
Summary
A critical review of Angel Studios' film "Young Washington," arguing that the studio undermines its own semi-competent productions by ending them with on-screen appeals for viewers to buy extra tickets for theoretical audiences. The review contends this practice reveals a lack of genuine faith in the very conservative Christian and American values the studio claims to champion, turning what could be a passable biopic into a cynical fundraising pitch.

· 3 pulledNo other major studio is as committed to catering to conservative Christian and American values as Angel Studios, and no other studio seems to have less faith that Americans share those values.
Angel Studios repeatedly concludes their more jingoistic and religious films with a last-minute panhandle over the closing credits, flimsily disguising their scheme — to get their fans to buy extra tickets, for theoretical audiences who may never actually use them.
Angel Studios sucks the good will out of yet another semi-competent production with their last-minute, sketchy panhandling.
