Bama Rush (2023)
Save your time, watch Youtube commentary instead
I feel like a documentary about this topic has such promise and intrigue being but this totally missed the mark. Any issues with rushing that you typically hear about are barely talked about (how much it costs, legacy members, what bigs/littles are, the cost of the sorority houses themselves, could have touched on fraternity hazing, etc) I mean we could have had a whole documentary just on The Machine and even that doesn't get much airtime. The director spend half of the time talking about alopecia and the other half talking about the drama surrounding the documentary. I also did not find Mikayla or Holliday particularly interesting (their friend drama, visiting Mikayla's dad's grave) and then they both end up dropping out and not rushing at all. There are many YouTube videos out there that do a much better job of diving into the details of what rush is and the entire history behind The Machine.
Zola (2020)
Do not waste your time or money.
I've only ever wanted to walk out of the movie theater during 2 movies: Cats and Zola. It could have been 45 minutes shorter. It was so boring and I hate the way it was edited. Nothing particularly interesting happens. Quite a waste of such great actors that I love. Just go read the Twitter thread instead.
