About
You’ll likely like Bully if you want an unflinching, discomforting teenage crime drama based on true events, with a heavy sense of dread and realism; Not for you if you’re sensitive to graphic violence or explicit sexual content, or if you prefer the gentler tone of Kids.
Pros: gritty, intense tension; based on true events; gripping atmosphere | Cons: disturbing content; rough character portrayal; inconsistent motivation
