Where’s George?

About This Movie

So, 'Where's George?' is a fascinating little documentary that dives into the life of George Caputo, a teenager who really epitomizes the anti-war sentiment of the Vietnam era. The atmosphere is quite somber, yet there's a rawness that keeps it engaging. You can feel the tension in his refusal to fight and the choices he makes while holed up in the Columbia University Chapel. The pacing feels reflective, allowing you to sit with his thoughts and the gravity of the moment. It's not overly polished, which somehow adds to its charm. The performances, though understated, carry a weight that resonates. It’s a slice of history that feels both personal and political, capturing the spirit of a time when young people were really questioning authority.
