Line, The

The Line, director Ethan Berger's narrative feature 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. Though not an overtly gay film, there is plenty of homoeroticism in this searing, star-studded frat house drama about toxic masculinity and unchecked power.
