Negative Positive
Title: dated and overrated
Review: I give this film 4 stars instead of 3 for its impact and social relevance at the time. I don't feel that the film has aged as well as some of its contemporaries. Perhaps I've just viewed other movies in this vein and The Graduate doesn't really set itself apart from them. It's a good film, and I like it, but I believe it was number 7 on the AFI list, and that's just far too high a ranking. A masterpiece of filmaking? Not in my opinion. Just a good film that doesn't hold up quite as well by today's standards.
Is the review positive or negative?
