La fraternidad

Really solid movie. It pulls you into the frat world and then shows how messed up it actually is. Austin Abrams was amazing as Gettys. He's not the main character, but honestly felt like the heart of it. Things get dark fast and it doesn't sugarcoat anything. Definitely not your typical college movie.

In The Line audiences are taken on an unforgettable journey through the highs and lows of fraternity life. Starring the formidable Adam Wolff as the lead, this movie masterfully blends humor and serious undertones to create a film that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. It's a wild ride, filled with raucous parties, pranks, and camaraderie, but it also takes a dark and unexpected turn that leaves the audience reflecting on deeper issues of identity, loyalty, and morality.

At first glance The Line seems like your typical college comedy, filled with the tropes we've come to expect from films about fraternity life - hazy keg parties, mischief-filled nights, and the carefree vibe of young adulthood. However, what sets The line apart from its predecessors is the way it captures the complexities of life behind the humor, using comedy to offset the deeper tensions and struggles faced by its characters. The film does this expertly which is a testament to both the writing and direction.

I was compelled the entire time by the direction of the movie and storyline of the characters. Definitely a movie worth seeing!

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.

The Line brings forward an incredibly important topic that for so long felt taboo to discuss. As someone who spent formative years surrounded by people who were active in Greek Life, The Line tackles the toxic masculinity that is inherently built in to this centuries old "tradition". A tradition that should be fully audited and question about its place in the lives of such a formative aged participants. The performances are excellent across the board, with Alex Wolff (a raw nerve), Lewis Pullman (slimy and likable all at once), Bo Mitchell (a paragon of fragile masculinity), Hailie Berry (wonderfully defiant) and Angus Cloud (a truly tragic character) all doing what they do best, expertly directed and beautifully shot.

I love it when a movie is giving you a sense of dread. Nothing particularly bad is/has happened on screen as yet, but you know it's all setting up for something. And it's like a train-wreck, where you know you should look away, but you simply can't.

That's what 'The Line' was for me. I was interested in what was happening on screen the entire time, no doubt about that, but I also knew it was going to go to some dark places. It had a real 'The Basketball Diaries' feel about it.

Something I couldn't help noticing in this movie is that Angus Cloud was a really classy actor. He doesn't have a whole to do in this movie, but every time he's on screen he draws your attention and seemed like a class above the rest of the cast. His talent will be missed and we will always wonder what could've been.

I really enjoyed this movie. 9/10.
