Goat (2016)
Directed by Andrew
Neel this film based on real events stars Ben Schnetzer, Nick Jonas,
Gus Halper and Daniel Flaherty. After being beaten up in the summer a
teenager heads to college in the hopes of joining the same fraternity
as his older brother.
As films about
fraternity hazings go this is a pretty good film that does not
glorify but I am not really sure it goes deep enough into motivations
of the older members. Clearly the abuse the pledges suffer is
terrible but I was never convinced on why they were willing to go
through with it all and the film shows little of fraternity life
beyond the abuse. There are decent performances from the cast but
nothing that stands out although James Franco's cameo is worth
watching out for.
3/5
