Undergrads is a movie that seems ready-made for people who have been to college, so that they can point at the screen whenever something relatable happens and go "Oh yeah! That's how this was like for me back in the day!" or "I know people who were just like that!"
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think it is important for a film to be relatable, but I thinks it's equally important that a film's whole draw and point of existence does not hinge on audience nostalgia and relatability.

I know I was primed to like this thing but jesus christ.

These guys got it. An American Graffiti and Everybody Wants Some! for a new generation. I loved the writing, direction, casting. It’s such a funny and human film about relationships and the modern college experience. I can’t wait to see what this crew does next!

Andrew Zuckerman’s first feature film sets the bar high for the rest of his work even considering it’s budget.
Undergrads so accurately replicates what life is actually like for those on the cusp of millennials and Gen Z at the moment. We’re 22-24, we’re all about to make big moves even if we don’t know what they are. Our lives are peppered with anxiety as we negotiate where our relationships fall amidst our ambitions and our realities. Life’s confusing. This movie replicates those anxieties that are closing in on us, but in doing so makes it less scary.
What I love about this independent film most, though, is that it’s made by a local director who’s the same age as…
