Dustin Hoffman is Superb

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2014)

The Graduate (1967) directed by Mike Nichols, is an interesting film, that is so good at what it does. It combines drama with humor and Dustin Hoffman's love triangle is fun to explore. The film is successful, because the writing is so well done. Mrs. Robinson is seductive towards Benjamin, but she does so in such an entertaining way, through her actions and dialogue. The film has great shots too, close ups, and far shots, and pans. The film has a good soundtrack, featuring folk artists Simon and Garfunkel, and their type of music fits the feel of the film. Overall, I give The Graduate (1967) a 9 out of 10.
