The Graduate

CriticsCritics: 85
AudienceAudience: 7.9

A disillusioned college graduate returns home unsure of his future and becomes involved with an older married woman. When he develops feelings for her daughter, he is caught between desire, family expectations, and the difficult search for a direction of his own.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy witty, bittersweet coming-of-age stories about alienation, desire, and uncertain futures; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, modern relationship dynamics, or straightforward romantic resolutions.
