Goats!

About This Movie

So, 'Goats!' is this haunting documentary set on a secluded Adriatic island where these goats have been left to roam freely, doing their thing for about 40 years. It dives into a pretty dark theme, exploring the way society justifies violence when faced with an 'imbalance' in nature. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, juxtaposed with the tension that builds as armed men arrive to control the goat population. The stark visuals of the island and the practical effects of the cull really make it striking. You can almost feel the weight of the choices being made. It's a raw look at humanity's relationship with nature and the lengths we'll go to in the name of order. Definitely gives you something to think about.

Focuses on themes of violence and nature.Interesting practical effects used during the cull.Has a slow burn pacing that builds tension.
