Review of Bama Rush

Bama Rush (2023)
10/10
If you're too dense to see the connection between Greek life and the director's struggles with alopecia (wanting to being accepted as you are), then yeah, don't bother.

I was raised in Alabama and went to both Bama and Auburn for post-grad education.

The guts of the doc were forced to be cut short because of exactly what she was trying to uncover. If you aren't doing something wrong, why are you trying to stop a documentary and discredit it?

The director is clearly not biased but intrigued because the 2021 rush was so popular on TikTok, making Greek life seem glossy and sparkly. Hopefully this doc will inspire more media attention on UA's Greek life and the controls it has over all of the university's students' lives.

Sororities are about fitting in and pleasing others, which is toxic and scarring behavior. If you're too dense to see the connection between Greek life and the director's struggles with alopecia (wanting to being accepted as you are), then yeah, don't bother. Ignoring and minimizing this perfectly sensible connection is naive and immature.

I would bet that most of the negative reviews here are by Greek-lifers; they are shallow and obviously upset with the director. After having seen how defensive they got at the mere mention of a possible doc being filmed, it's common sense that they would exert efforts to lower its rating. So, 10 stars it is!
