Fraternity initiation generally gets handled in movies as a goofy lark in keg-chugging comedies like “Animal House.” Hazing, on the other hand, doesn’t get as much play, but it’s at the center of “Goat,” which had its world premiere Friday night at the Sundance Film Festival.Based on the memoir by Brad Land, the film is likely to generate discussion not only for its intense scenes of frat pledges enduring “Hell Week” but also for the memorable performances by (as Land) and (as Brad’s older brother Brett). Also Read:The film opens at a raucous college party that high-schooler Brad is attending with his big brother. Brad leaves early, and someone who claims to have been at the bash asks for a lift home. The stranger and his friend guide Brad to a deserted field where they savagely take turns beating him before stealing his car. After spending the summer recuperating from the incident, Brad decides to start college that fall at Brett’s alma mater so that he can pledge Brett’s fraternity.Hell Week is no picnic for any freshman, but Brett’s brothers seem to go out of their way to specifically call up memories of the attack. Brad’s also-pledging roommate Will (Danny Flaherty, “The Americans”) is forced by pledgemaster Dixon (Jake Picking, a cruelly handsome, new millennial ) to repeatedly slap Brad in the face, for instance, in a way that makes Brad uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Brett, who initially championed Brad’s decision to pledge, finds himself torn between two different kinds of fraternal responsibilities.Also Read. Wrote the initial adaptation of Land’s book, with Mike Robert and director Andrew Neel (“King Kelly”) getting credit for the final draft. The screenplay has many sharp observations about college life, such as an unhappy Will telling Brad that the only thing worse than enduring the torture of pledging is the social stigma of being known as a guy who couldn’t take it. There’s also a hilarious segment featuring (who’s also a producer) as one of those alums who doesn’t let familial obligations stop him from stopping by campus to party with the frat boys.
By the end of “Goat,” however, there appear to be some scenes missing. Whatever happens to the girl that Brad spends the first chunk of the movie mooning after? How much of Brett’s change of heart about fraternity life and the pointlessness of hazing has to do with seeing it happen to Brad versus his concern about Brad’s psyche following the carjacking?Also Read:Along with an ending that some will find either enigmatic or unsatisfying, the movie could benefit from some minor re-editing. But there’s still much that works here, from the chillingly droning score to a uniformly strong cast. “Goat” is a film that will elicit a great deal of interest on college campuses, but there’s plenty for us post-grads to contemplate as well.
'Goat'Director: Andrew NeelCast:,Why It’s Hot: This project has been in the works for more than a decade. It’s based on a shocking memoir by Brad Land, who recounted a terrifying assault and his experience pledging his brother's college fraternity. The film explores the issue of hazing and how that brutal annual ritual tests the siblings’ bond.

'Christine'Director: Antonio CamposCast:, Tracy Lets, Maria Dizzia, J.
Smith-CameronWhy It’s Hot: is said to give a devastating performance as Christine Chubbuck, a depressed TV reporter who shot herself live on the air in the 1970s. It’s a fascinating story and Campos’ most accessible movie to date. His other, more challenging films found distribution and they didn’t have the star power “Christine” boasts, so expect some smart buyer to take it off the table quickly if reviews are positive. BorderLine Films.
'Brahman Naman'Director: QCast: Shashank Arora, Sid Mallya, Denzil Smith, Tanmay DhananiaWhy It’s Hot: The logline alone - a champion college quizzing team tries to win the all-India finals and lose their virginities - had us in stitches, and the controversial Indian filmmaker known simply as Q doesn't play it safe. This could end up being this year’s “Napoleon Dynamite” if advance buzz is any indication. Buyers shouldn’t underestimate the audience for a movie like “Brahman Naman,” which is in English but could still lend itself to an American remake. Riley Productions.
'Holy Hell'Director: Will AllenWhy It’s Hot: Sundance played a savvy publicity game with this title, initially keeping Allen’s identity a secret. He eventually came forward to claim responsibility, but his reluctance is understandable. The film takes an inside look at a West Hollywood cult formed by a charismatic teacher in the 1980s that eventually imploded.
We don’t know what kind of cult is depicted in the movie, but we’re guessing he didn’t want to get on its bad side.Previous Slide Next Slide.
