outstanding film, one of the best ever

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2001)

I have probably seen the Graduate 4 or 5 times and haven't tired of it in the least. Hoffman gives a tour de force performance as a naive college grad who is seduced by a friend of his parents and ends up falling in love with her daughter. As almost everyone probably knows, the soundtrack is by Simon and Garfunkel and in my mind,is terrific and couldn't be more appropriate for the movie. Hoffman gives a good impression of the alienation many young adults probably felt at the time.
