Goat

• Drama

Goat plunges into the brutal and isolating world of college fraternity life through the eyes of a young man irrevocably changed by a violent attack before even arriving on campus. Seeking solace and a return to normalcy alongside his brother, he instead finds himself trapped in a relentless cycle of escalating hazing, where the lines between loyalty, endurance, and self-destruction blur. The film distinguishes itself from typical coming-of-age stories by presenting a harrowing, unflinching depiction of toxic masculinity and the insidious nature of brotherhood rituals, focusing not on triumphant overcoming, but on the enduring psychological scars and the difficult question of what constitutes survival. It's a deeply unsettling and disturbing portrayal of vulnerability and the normalization of abuse, offering a raw and visceral exploration of trauma’s aftermath and the desperate need for connection amidst profound isolation.
