Bama Rush

Unless you have absolutely no idea what Greek life is this documentary is worthless. Half of it was about the director and her personal struggles with alopecia that she (poorly) attempted to relate to Greek life. Focuses mostly on the girls lives way before they're even on campus. Did not document the girls during the rush process and most of the girls ended up dropping out. Shout out to the one active member that said her house was bottom tier lol. The girls that they chose to interview seemed nice but they were generally not the typical girls seen on rush tik tok that most people were hoping for.

Would have been a good documentary if it weren't for the director making the entire thing about herself.

Sucks you have alopecia but it has absolutely nothing to do with joining a sorority in the state of Alabama.

Trying to compare your struggles with your subject at every turn has single handedly ruined your film and left your audience feeling click baited.

If every scene with the director in it was cut from this film I would have probably rated it an 8 out of 10.

Seeing what these girls put themselves through is absolutely crazy.

Next time keep your issues in check and you might make a decent film.

ACTUALLY NOTHING TO DO ABOUT BAMA SORORITIES. DO NOT WATCH UNLESS YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET UPSET ABOUT WASTING YOUR TIME. The director is constantly stopping the documentary at times to make it fully about herself who by the way didn't go to bama and wasn't EVEN IN A SORORITY. I understand that she has her own stuff but if that's what the documentary was about then maybe change the name? Also a 1/4 is of the film was them just talking about the documentary and how everyone is going to take it the rumors about it. I'm writing this while watching it because it is that bad. Worst documentary i've ever watched and I watch documentaries a lot.

Interesting documentary about a fascinating, layered topic.

However the pacing was stilted, with only a very small part of the documentary focused on covering the rush process.

The director also interjected into the film multiple times about her experiences with alopecia, and how those experiences paralleled to the experiences of the girls pursuing a sorority. Her experiences and stories with alopecia were extremely important and meaningful, however they didn't relate super directly to the main content of the documentary in an obvious way, and the interjections broke up the pacing and emotional swell of the film.

"Poor me" story from the director who made the entire doc about herself and lazily tries to equate her alopecia with Bama Rush. If you're saying, "huh?", then believe me, the disaster of watching it is actually worse than it sounds. Glosses over important issues such as racism, eating disorders, etc. In favor of non-stop flashy pop ups of Tik Toks. Literally 30 minutes of the doc is dedicated to the directors own plight with alopecia. Sloppy filmmaking with no point of view or really anything to say. If you're looking for saliciousness, there isn't any, and ditto if you're looking to learn anything.
