“One Day, You Become A Parent.   That’s when the self-questioning starts.   What should you tell your kids?   What do you prepare them for?   Do you guide them on the path that you have taken, or do you encourage them to be principled no matter what?” – film director Cristian Mungiu

“A doctor greases the system in order to ensure his daughter aces her finals in Cristian Mungiu’s beautifully structured look at a dysfunctional society.” – Jay Weissberg, Variety

“GRADUATION is a masterly, complex movie of psychological subtlety and moral weight, about the shabby choices people make as they claw their way up.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“GRADUATION sneaks up on you with its mixture of art and politics, its aesthetic rigor and its devastating, merciless view of post-Ceausescu Romania.”
– Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
