Movie Reviews

The Big Issue - 10/10 by Edward LawrensonWatching it today I can appreciate the historical significance of The Graduate, and Mike Nichols' direction is sharp and stylish. Yet I'm ambivalent about the film.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 10/10 by Rumsey TaylorSeen in its time, a decade of political identification (sexual, racial, etc.), The Graduate establishes clear pawns, and allows dualistic sympathy for either party in conflict.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Brian MckayHilarious! some of Nichol's and Hoffman's best work.
BBC.com - 10/10 by Almar HaflidasonNichols provides a masterclass in using the widescreen frame to elucidate complex emotional situations with ease and understatement.
Apollo Guide - 10/10 by Brian WebsterIt's smart, witty, and troubling all at the same time.
San Francisco Examiner - 10/10 by Barbara ShulgasserWhat's most fun is a brilliant, nasty, sad, defiant and overtly sexual performance by Anne Bancroft in her prime as Mrs. Robinson
Independent (UK) - 10/10 by Geoffrey MacnabMike Nichols' film makes such beguiling viewing largely because of Hoffman's performance as Benjamin, which combines humour, boredom and panic in equal measure.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe funniest American comedy of the year.
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittDustin Hoffman gives the inspired performance that launched his movie career, and director Mike Nichols shows a gift for social satire that has never glistened quite so brightly since. [Review of re-release]
TV Guide Magazine - 10/10 by Ethan AlterThe Graduate is a flawlessly acted and produced film. [Review of re-release]
