deloudelouvain Review of Graduation

Graduation (2016)

Good actors, good directing, but a too long and unfinished story. It's a no for me.

[4/10 · 6 February 2019]

I don't think I watched alot of Romanian movies before, or at least I don't remember them, so I was a little curious about this one since it got good rates and reviews. The truth is that it's well directed, nothing bad to say about that, and it had good actors, unknown to me but nonetheless they were good. But the movie has some serious issues. First of all it's way too long for the story it is. You could have told that story in half the time. Second and most important thing to me is the extremely weak ending. I like stories with an ending that gives you closure, where you feel satisfied after watching a two hour movie, and that is absolutely not the case with this movie. Bacalaureat or Graduation is just too long and the promising story just turns out to be boring and unfinished.
