But the Goat Survived

About This Movie

But the Goat Survived is this curious 1991 comedy that has a wild premise, right? It dives into how society treats a released prisoner and the fallout that follows. The tone is a bizarre mix of humor and sharp social commentary, almost like a dark fable. Pacing feels uneven at times, oscillating between frantic moments and slower, introspective scenes. It’s interesting how the film uses practical effects to underscore the absurdity of its violence, adding to the chaotic atmosphere. The performances are a bit mixed, but there’s something about the rawness of it all that keeps you engaged. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill comedy, that's for sure.
