What the critics say
Based on 13 reviews, Graduation gets an average review score of 83
A fascinating and fastidiously complex study of one man’s moral choices at a crucial juncture in his life, Cristian Mungiu’s “Graduation” is a thoroughgoing masterpiece which offers proof that Romania’s cinematic upsurge remains the most vital and important national film movement of the current century.
3022d ago
Romanian Palme d’Or winner Cristian Mungiu’s latest follows a doctor’s attempts to help his daughter pass a life-changing school exam with superbly subtle observation.
3022d ago
This is a bleak view of modern-day Romania as a place where your only choice is between noble guaranteed failure and a slim shot at compromised, tainted success and where bricks come through windows for no reason.
3022d ago
Graduation is long and intense, a rigorously naturalistic film that at times feels as claustrophobic and suspenseful as a horror movie. Like Mr. Mungiu’s other work, it is a thriller of sorts, built around an excruciating ethical problem. He is unstinting in his sympathy and unsparing in his judgment.
3022d ago
Latest from '4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days' filmmaker examines a moral slippery slope when doctor's daughter blows a college-entrance exam.
3022d ago
It’s a moving portrait, but it’s also a very familiar and transparently constructed one, preventing the narrative from generating the urgency necessary to endow its moral implications with genuine vigor.
3022d ago
A baleful, believable vision of Romania’s grass-roots.

Romanian master Cristian Mungiu finds more hardship in the homeland with Graduation.
3022d ago
Desperate for daughter Eliza (Maria Dragus) to secure a place at Cambridge, upstanding provincial Romanian doctor Romeo (Adrian Titieni) succumbs to corruption to ensure strings are pulled after Eliza underperforms in a vital exam the day after she survives an attempted rape.
3022d ago
Romanian auteur Cristian Mungiu, who won the Palme d'Or for '4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days' in 2007, returns to Cannes competition with a morality play centered around an overbearing dad keen to get his daughter into a British university at any price.
3022d ago
Cristian Mungiu's film is more than just a cry of despair toward the hopelessness of life in modern-day Romania.
3022d ago
A doctor greases the system in order to ensure his daughter aces her finals in Cristian Mungiu’s beautifully structured yet familiar look at a dysfunctional society.
3022d ago
Graduation, written and directed by Cristian Mungiu, is a mirthless farce. All that can go wrong does go wrong, and the process is both compelling and close to unwatchable.
