There is no antonym of âGraphicâ in its literal sense because the word âgraphicâ literally means âlike a graphâ. And there can be no opposite to nouns, only adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions.
There could be an antonym to how the word is used in the context, but none of the words above would fit that description.
When âGraphicâ is in reference to a movie, it either refers to violence or sexual content, so an antonym to that particular usage (not meaning) of the word âGraphicâ would be something like âwholesomeâ, âkid safeâ, âchild-friendlyâ, âfamily friendlyâ, etc.

Hi Claude, welcome to our forum. In the given context the word âgraphicâ is an adjective meaning âin great detailâ. One of the antonyms to âgraphicâ is âimplicitâ which means âimplied though not directly expressedâ.
Hope this makes sense to you. Best regards, Torsten
