If Larry Clark's Kids is about Sex, Bully is about Violence.
Bully darkly highlights the unbelievable true story of a group of Florida teenagers who decide the only way to escape their oppressor is to kill him. The movie caused much controversy on it's release for its portrayal of the events.
"I believe "Bully" is a masterpiece on its own terms, a frightening indictment of a society that offers absolutely nothing to some of its children." Roger Ebert
Bully is a brutal unflinching true story of the violent apathy and frustrations of a group of teenagers during a summer of 1993 in a small Florida town. Directed by the infamous Larry Clark (Kids, Ken Park), Bully takes a look into the private lives of Marty (Brad Renfro - The Client, Apt Pupil), and the love hate relationship with his childhood friend Bobby (Nick Stahl – Sin City) as he is relentlessly and cruelly bullied. As Bobby’s cruel actions begin to affect Marty’s friends they hatch a plan to finally free themselves from their tormentor.
