The Graduate Reviews

Been there done that

I really don't get all the fuss about this, below average.
Lol just because it has a great symbolic ending shot doesn't make it great as a whole.
Loved the soundtrack/camera work/ending/drowning pool scenes, and the relatable themes.
But that's pretty much about it, everything-

why the FUCK do people like this? it’s the most boring thing i have ever seen in my entire life. i’d get more enjoyment from watching paint dry.

Very solid movie. Admittedly I watched it for a class so I was looking at it a lot more analytically rather than just enjoying it. But regardless good movie. Need a rewatch though.

complicated

A hilarious film with a terrific story.


This film was superb. I did not expect it to be this funny at all. I didn’t even know it was that kind of film. Dustin Hoffman was amazing.


Overall, this film was excellent.


Mrs. Robinson: Elaine! It's too late!

Elaine: Not for me.

Idk how to feel about this yet. We’ll see. I know I didn’t love parts of it

So much of this movie is just silence
The music is so annoying, SO ANNOYING
The romance was, in fact, “half baked”
Acting was horrendous
Marriage shit—dumb

People love shit movies.
He didn’t rape her mom — therefore it’s okay to stalk a girl.

Laughably stupid movie !!!

This guy really needed a hobby or friends of his own

You know it's good when it feels like it flew by quick and for being 1967 ahead of its time. Ain't nothing stopping Ben. He's got that full determination, and the final 10 minutes were pretty iconic. Sidenote: It was cool seeing Norman Fell as well, only because I love Three's Company.

Every aspect about this film is excellent. The story, the acting, and the cinematography are all superb making for an amazing film overall. There’s a reason why this film is as highly acclaimed as it is. (by the way Benjamin would’ve loved Radiohead) 9/10

Gotta love milfs. This is one of the OG portrayals of losers/simps. Reminds me of Steve Carrell in 40-year-old Virgin.

Interesting time capsule

we goin to the fair

8.0/10

The original Shane Hollander but straight

8.5/10
Probably the greatest ending shot of all time. Holds up really well even today

just phenomenal. grabs your attention from the very first scene. i absolutely love Hoffman’s performance on this, he’s sublime. the character of Ben transmits his anguish and sadness right through the screen. it’s a great representation of loneliness and the paths it can take us.

Existential but good
