Careful! Don’t be fooled. Goat It’s not a movie Jordan Peele (Run!), even if the marketing campaign tries to sell this idea. In industry, this is common: consecrated directors give their endorsements to the beginning filmmakers to draw public attention. To be alone in terror: James Wan (Deadly Games) You have done this when you pass the direction of some franchise movies Evil invocation For less known names, Mike Flanagan (Midnight mass) has also done and will repeat the feat with the coming Terror in Shelby Oaksand in this news, Peele sponsor Justin Tipping (Kicks)-You know why.

Precisely for this reason, the public tends to expect that, with the “peele seal”Printed on the poster, the film approaches its view or the usual quality of its films, or that it at least repeat what happened in The Legend of Candymanproduced by Peele and directed by Nia dacosta (Extermination: The Temple of Bones), who had a great acceptance of critics and the general public. But not quite, the result is terrible and, although we don’t have the filmmaker behind the cameras, Goat It’s not bad for that. It fails for its own merits, becoming one of the most frustrating titles of 2025.

In the story, we follow the young Quarterback Cameron “Cam” Cade, played by Tyriq Withers (I know what you did last summer), in his search for greatness under the guidance of Isaiah White, role of Marlon Wayans (Everyone in panic). As training advances and intensifies, Isaiah’s behavior turns out toxic and dark, leading Cade to an extreme that can cost her life. Beyond “peele seal“The fact that we have football at the center of the narrative is attractive to the Brazilian public, increasingly interested in the sport.

Title Goat – “Greatest of All Time” – suggests a reflection on fame and sports idolatry, however, this attempt by the film to explore sacrifice, ambition, and the limits of desire for success is lost in a six -hand -written script: many ideas are released, but none of them are developed in depth or any critical sense, everything seems ridiculous when presented. The premise of reflecting on what one is willing to sacrifice to become the best even arouses interest at first, but soon dissolves in the face of visual excess, literal symbolism and spectacular style that dominate each scene.

Goat It looks like a music video: colorful, full of stimulating visual effects, with ballad lighting underground In the internal scenes, and the external super light and sunny, as well as a charged sound design. If cut into excerpts of seconds, you can yield several viral videos in the Tiktok – And believe me, there are those who watch movies there. Aesthetics is exaggerated, appealing to the most cliché you can expect from a sect terror, full of obvious and glaring symbols, it seems that Tipping focus more on impressing with style than building characters, narrative or criticism of this idolatry to Goats. Each scene is practically a literal exercise of symbolism.

The performances follow the same irregular pattern. Marlon Wayansdespite the intensity, it sounds canastrão; Tyriq Withers It is bland and cannot carry the protagonism; Julia Fox (Gross jewelry) arises to parade their curves, exotic style and marks that should sponsor it, without going beyond that; While supporters pass without any impact. The cast cannot balance the excess of style and symbolism, leaving the film loaded with self -explanatory information – there is a moment, near the end, that the characters literally stop to explain how the protagonist has come there.

In short, Goat It is visually flashy, but narratively empty. The bloodthirsty final sequence is of a plasticity that is not even pleasant or humorous. There are echoes of The substance During the movie, when dealing with this ghana for being in evidence, but terror can not even reach the lowest level of debate that title has provided. The extravagant aesthetics – which refers to a commercial of perfumes of such clean – It does not compensate for predictability, superficiality and lack of development of the characters. Those who expected a consistent terror or more elaborate reflection on ambition and fame will be disappointed. What is left is just the curious mix between sport and terror – and the good use of the x -ray effect at times – but none of this saves the experience. At the end, Goat It is proof that not all “Peele Seal ” It is a guarantee of quality.
