Review

By YouShouldKnow

I connected more with the concept a lot. Though the movie is a dramatization (as films are) and therefore it is cliché-laden, colorful and hyperbolic. But it explores an idea.

We are raised to follow certain paths, categorized and rejected if we are different and take different paths. What if a place of higher education existed where that wasn't the case?

This film explores that idea. A place of informal education and personal growth.

A legendary movie for a hangover-day, but one that I will never begrudge others for disliking. This is really not my usual sort of movie, but for whatever reason, _Accepted_ somehow totally works for me?

_Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._
