Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com A quiet but wrenching drama by writer/director Hannah Peterson. Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Martin Tsai TheWrap It’s a compelling subject, for sure, but one on which no dramatic treatments have been nearly as astute or profound as what’s already been in the news. Jun 11, 2023 Full Review Kate Erbland indieWire A story that needs to be told, made by a filmmaker who we can only hope has many more tales to share. Rated: B+ Jun 11, 2023 Full Review Sara Clements Next Best Picture The Graduates is a quiet, heartwrenching journey of healing that’s also the discovery and wounded adjustment to a new normal and a journey to rebuilding a sense of self. Rated: 8/10 Jul 1, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Moody and atmospheric, The Graduates will bore some viewers looking for a more typical drama about people in a community dealing with the aftermath of a school shooting. The cast's good acting is the main reason to watch when the plot starts to wear thin. Jun 26, 2023 Full Review Frank J. Avella Edge Media Network There's also a quartet of terrific performances, beginning with a deeply affecting Mina Sundwall as Genevieve...But it's John Cho's devastating turn as the father of one of the dead that is most moving and elevates the film to another level.
