    A Wild Ride!

    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!

    Beacon of Nope

    A provocative, damning and necessary exposé on the culture of Greek Life. This film blends artful and intimate cinematography with boisterous dialogue to deliver a chaotic and intense portrayal of fraternity pledging. While the film only scratches the surface of the characters' humanity, the protagonist's retrograde unraveling serves as a powerful commentary on the dangers of toxic masculinity, binge drinking, and herd mentality. The director does not offer an easy resolution, taking the audience on a journey into the depths of alcoholism with no glimpse of redemption for its pawns; this film demands serious conversation.

    Austin Abrams Was the Standout

    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.

    Amazing movie

    Was lucky enough to watch the premiere of this movie at Tribeca a couple weeks ago. Gotta say I really loved this movie. The acting by the cast was phenomenal, also the casting excellent. The film was well directed and was also very well written, dialogue was genuine and was well written. I would recommend this coming of age film, was enjoyable start to finish. Def 10/10, it gave a great depiction of frat life at some institutions across the country. After watching this film it may definitely spark discussion about some of the darker traditions of fraternity life. I would be willing to recommend this movie to friends and family.

    Exposing the Dark Rituals of Brotherhood

    The Line offers an intense portrayal of fraternity culture, examining toxic masculinity and power dynamics within a fictional brotherhood. Berger's direction takes a very thoughtful, anthropological approach, vividly capturing the rituals and environment of Kappa Nu Alpha. Through authentic, immersive details, the film effectively conveys a sense of unease and realism. While its themes may not be entirely new, the depth and seriousness of its execution make it both compelling and unsettling. The movie challenges viewers to reflect on how traditions and unchecked behaviors can perpetuate cycles of harm and complicity.
