If you are college-bound, go and see Goat first, but for God's sake don't take your parents.

Goat is a suitably horrific expos of campus hazing, but it's wise about the difficulties of ending it, even when victims and perpetrators both want it to stop.

A shocking descent into debauchery that's as gripping as it is disgusting, [with] Neel delivering a searing portrait of abuse I'm not sure I could have torn my eyes away from had I wanted to try.

A lesser movie about hazing would cluck its tongue and put on a mask of sympathy for these boys, painting them as victims. Goat has the temerity to let us see them as they see themselves. As survivors.
