Ahmad M Like an inescapable fever dream. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review andrew k Refreshingly unwoke, the movie managers to offend almost every part of society but remains an entertaining satire about American frat life. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member great dark comedy if you're down to watch something on an indie budget Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible watch, won't watch again, and warn against. A great example of the richest, most privileged, awful place of non-academia academia. This movie tries to be at least 3 things and fails across the board. It does make the point of the awful elite, but there were so many better ways to do it. The only saving grace I can give is that the "main" character is not part of the elite, but is told to "fake it until you make it" and becomes as bad (if not worse in some regards), but that's the premise of the movie. It tries to be a psychology movie, but does a poor job focusing on it enough to matter, and uses a roommate that looks too much like his "double". It tries to be a commentary on sex and power, but looks more like sociopaths having a good time without the chains of emotional attachment. It tries to be a commentary on the social elite, but it doesn't take that long to make the point: even in reality, they know they're awful, they're just too rich to care. The only hope I had was Cathryn Dylan, she represented hope of the movie turning to something more romantic, but she's actually there as a gauge as to how far we've come from it. I really think this movie is a waste of your time, please avoid. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Totally underrated. It's deadpan satire the acting and tempo were top notch The professional production was movie quality from start to finish. Art work all works in this the idea of the movie as well which I don't want to spoil. I joined Rotten Toms to write this XD Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member There is no clear storyline. There is no rhyme or reason to the scenes. The movie simply skips from one random scene to the next. The two "main" plot lines are really shallow and never have any kind of payoff. The end of this movie is abrupt and severely disappointing.
