Ethan Berger’s feature narrative debut is an engrossing contemplation of blind adherence to tradition through the lens of a fictional college fraternity. Tom (Alex Wolff), a passionate ‘brother’ of this fraternity, is charmed by the promises of high social status and alumni connections that open doors. But as a classmate outside of his social circle named Annabelle (Halle Bailey) enters his life, his devotion begins to falter. Once the scheduled hazing of new fraternity members comes to a disturbing head, Tom is faced with the decision of a lifetime.

The shocking side of privilege

"I'm a massive fan of all of the college and university movies that go back years, including National Lampoon's Animal House, breakfast club and anything else imbetween. The Line is a terrific and disturbing insight into the spoils of privileged youth. Great acting, location and cinematography throughout in a film which is an important addition. I first watched it on Sky movies but was delighted to see Vinegar Syndrome had a physical media version. Watch this movie, it has an important point to make. It stays with you long after it's initial viewing. I'm a delighted owner from England."

— MR S. (5/5)

Mediocre Indie Unpleasantness

"A well-enough made but deeply unpleasant film about a middle-class college kid lured by the promise of status and future wealth into a preeminent fraternity whose brothers are out-of-control, ultimately leading to a hazing incident that throws his life into turmoil. I know it's the whole point, but the characters are so insufferable in their party-animal ways, toxic masculinity, racism, homophobia, and entitled privilege that it just makes the whole film difficult to endure. Plus, the story is so on-the-nose with what you may have imagined is behind these news stories on hazing-gone-awry that it seems to lack imagination. The outsider coming into an elite organization, the best friend who is a mama's boy with a silver spoon in his mouth, the disapproving girlfriend, the gatekeeping fraternity brother who entrusts our protagonist with responsibility, the tragedy during Pledge Week. . . it's all a bit too pat and predictable. The direction is assured for a first-time feature director, though, in that artificial indie way, anyway. Just the writing and the onslaught of badly-behaved assholes obscures it. It's also guilty of parading faded stars in tiny roles to give it some cred -- John Malkovich, Denise Richards, Cheri Oteri -- which ultimately adds nothing much. Shit, the frat guys aren't even good-looking, so couldn't enjoy it on that level, either. I guess it's fine for what it is, but it's nothing I'll ever return to, and I don't feel particularly enriched for having seen it."

— Michael S. (3/5)

The Horror of College Hazing

"Extremely good film. Hits home when it comes to hazing in college and the abuses that come with it. I caught this on streaming and really took a liking to the film. As soon as I saw this being released through a partner label, I had to have it. Nice add to my collection."

— Eric B. (5/5)

A fun enough little movie

"A fun enough little movie about the life of a frat house, but this one didn't really seem to do much for me. felt like a movie i had already seen done before."

— Charles S. (3/5)
