Here's a review of Bully I like from Atomic Cinema: "Grueling true story of how Bobby Kent, a bossy Florida teenager came to be beaten to death by a group of his peers; aimless, stoned, pathologically amoral white Floridians. The post-moral sub-society depicted is bewildering and shocking… like watching a troop of monkeys. Violence erupts casually and is forgotten in moments, and sexual pairings are equally random and volatile. This following comment is not to detract from this movie (which is marvelous): No mainstream American film has ever contained more nudity and sexual behavior than BULLY, and, like most sexually daring mainstream films, it's stark and pathological. Can't anyone, just once, make a light romantic American film with this much sex and nudity? It's a bad sign when crime stories always contain more sex than love stories."
