I generally don't enjoy intense movies as they make me anxious this movie I have to say was an exception. The acting, direction and sound effects were absolutely brilliant. The characters are complex and their journey is well crafted. The cinematography is crisp and movie has a quick pace and stays with you days after you watch it. The film talks about important issues surrounding frat culture including racism, toxic masculinity and homophobia etc. While not being preachy or holier than thou. I would watch this movie again and definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys movies that make you think.

A provocative, damning and necessary exposé on the culture of Greek Life. This film blends artful and intimate cinematography with boisterous dialogue to deliver a chaotic and intense portrayal of fraternity pledging. While the film only scratches the surface of the characters' humanity, the protagonist's retrograde unraveling serves as a powerful commentary on the dangers of toxic masculinity, binge drinking, and herd mentality. The director does not offer an easy resolution, taking the audience on a journey into the depths of alcoholism with no glimpse of redemption for its pawns; this film demands serious conversation.
Amazing movie

Was lucky enough to watch the premiere of this movie at Tribeca a couple weeks ago. Gotta say I really loved this movie. The acting by the cast was phenomenal, also the casting excellent. The film was well directed and was also very well written, dialogue was genuine and was well written. I would recommend this coming of age film, was enjoyable start to finish. Def 10/10, it gave a great depiction of frat life at some institutions across the country. After watching this film it may definitely spark discussion about some of the darker traditions of fraternity life. I would be willing to recommend this movie to friends and family.
