About This Movie

This Is the Goat! is a quirky blend of dark humor and absurdity set in 17th century France. Maitre Pompignac, a lawyer with a losing streak, finds himself in a peculiar case involving an innocent child accused of murder. The atmosphere is a mix of grim reality and comedic relief, as the stakes are high yet the tone remains light-hearted. The dialogue dances between sharp wit and unexpected silliness, creating an engaging pace that keeps you invested. Sure, the director is currently unknown, but the performances shine, especially from the young actress playing Roxane. They really capture the innocence amidst the chaos. The practical effects, while not overdone, add a layer of authenticity to the historical setting. It’s a curious watch that straddles the line between farce and tragedy.
