Bully
Director: Larry Clark
Actors: Bijou Phillips, Brad Renfro
Release Date: Monday 30th November -0001
Running time: 112 minutes
Marty, a weak-willed high school dropout, is 'best friend' to the warped Bobby. Bobby is a misogynistic nutter, who has been bullying and belittling Marty for the duration of their friendship. When Marty gets his girlfriend Lisa pregnant, she decides to remove Bobby from their lives forever. In Bully Clark seems intent on shocking the audience about how little they know about what a cross section of American youth gets up to. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to want to do anything but shock here, such is the lack of depth. The characters are based on real people, but Clark never seeks to understand why they are the way they are.
