Goats

About This Movie

So, 'Goats' is this quirky little comedy from 2012 that really captures that offbeat charm. It follows Ellis, a teenager who’s caught in this whirlwind between his New Age mom and his estranged dad. The goat-trekking aspect is just... something you don’t see every day, right? There’s a unique mix of dry humor and earnestness, thanks to this 'Goat Man' character who’s like a sage but with a really laid-back vibe. The pacing feels a bit meandering at times, but that kind of reflects the desert setting. Performances are solid, particularly from the lead, who brings a relatable awkwardness. It's distinctive in how it explores themes of identity and belonging, all while staying light and amusing.
