Mrs Robinson is repulsive

Rating: 2/10 (17 April 2017)

This is a grossly overrated film, which could and should have been done much better.
Mrs Robinson is an awful character who isn't likable at any point in the film. She should be a seductive, romantic, cougar-MILF. Instead, she's not particularly attractive and her personality is repugnant. She's arrogant, bossy, cold and aloof. She later turns manipulative, angry, dishonest and demanding. It's difficult to believe that Benjamin would be attracted to her in the first place.
Before I watched it, I'd been told that it has a happy ending - but that's not the case. The situation that they'd be in after the film ends would be awful. They could live together, poor and estranged from their families - or split up and go back to their respective families apologetically.
