The Graduate Ratings & Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Myles Standish
A brilliant and funny satire on the affluent, materialistic society.
The New Yorker
Jacob Brackman
The Graduate engages its audience almost exclusively at the level of events until the grandly satisfying conclusion, when its problems (Benjamin's problems) seem to arrive at a happy solution.
InSession Film
Zita Short
You really can't miss Bancroft's iconic performance, but I wouldn't blame anybody for feeling a bit disappointed by the film itself. The years have not been kind to it and it now seems shallow and overly calculated.
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
It may not be the most tight-knit script and some key character relationships are underwritten. But anchored by some stellar performances and a great soundtrack, it's still a lot of fun.
Kansas City Star
KC Star Staff
It's hard to say which is best -- the direction, the script, or the performances by Dustin Hoffman, Katherine Ross, and Anne Bancroft. Together they achieve a major American film triumph.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
As it stands, the vacuum of that warped, moneyed Los Angeles society is too exaggerated, too incredible. But one can't help but believe in Hoffman if not in the disjointed character he portrays.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Be agog at Anne Bancroft's Mrs. Robinson in some of the most hilariously icky seduction scenes ever filmed. See Mike Nichols (with help from Simon & Garfunkel) take control of the Zeitgeist. See the mood go dark -- darker than you remember.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
The Graduate gives some substance to the contention that American films are coming of age -- of our age.
The Hollywood Reporter
John Mahoney
The remarkably true ring of Webb's dialogue is preserved and augmented, the visual potential lifted to next power in absurdity.
Village Voice
Andrew Sarris
The emotional elevation of the film is due in no small measure to the extraordinarily engaging performances of Anne Bancroft as the wife-mother-mistress, Dustin Hoffman as the lumbering Lancelot, and Katherine Ross as his fair Elaine.
Slant Magazine
Budd Wilkins
Mike Nichols and veteran cinematographer Robert Surtees threw out the DGA playbook for The Graduate.
TIME Magazine
The screenplay, which begins as genuine comedy, soon degenerates into spurious melodrama.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Visually stunning, but more superficial than you expect or remember.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Makes you feel a little tearful and choked-up while it is making you laugh yourself raw.
Variety
A.D. Murphy
A delightful, satirical comedy-drama.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The light ribbing of conspicuous consumption in southern California and the Simon and Garfunkel songs on the sound track both play considerable roles in giving this depthless comedy some bounce.
Austin Chronicle
Alison Macor
To paraphrase a line from another famous film, what do you say about a movie that has everything?
Salon.com
Robin Dougherty
A simple romantic comedy whose "countercultural" message, insofar as it has one, is decidedly retrograde.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Few movies have communicated with such dark hilarity all the anxiety and flamboyant misery of youthful sexual initiation
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It is a good topical movie whose time has passed, leaving it stranded in an earlier age. I give it three stars out of delight for the material it contains; to watch it today is like opening a time capsule.
