Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Brad (Ben Schnetzer), a young man traumatised by a recent car jacking, attempts to move on by pledging to the college fraternity of his brother (Nick Jonas). The brutality of "Hell Week", however, pushes him further to the edge. Assault, humiliation, and toxic masculinity ensue - Animal House this most certainly isn't. The dark world of machismo-driven fraternities is unearthed and makes for horrific viewing at times. If you're not repulsed throughout, you're not paying attention. This isn't shock for shock's sake, though, as the film shows the savagery of the fraternal tradition, and the need to belong in all its ugly reality. The backbone of the story is the relationship between the two brothers, as Schnetzer and Jonas maintain a strained but believable bond. Also, keep an eye out for James Franco's wild cameo. Although it hammers its message home, Goat has some valid points to make. Just make sure you don't eat before watching it.
