Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Bully
BULLY is a film directed by Larry Clark in 2001.

Bobby Kent is a self-confident teen who likes to humiliate Marty Puccio, his best friend, since they were eight years old. One night, Bobby will even rape Marty's girlfriend, Lisa, in front of his friend. After days of boozing, taking drugs, sexing and endless discussions, Marty, Lisa and four of their friends decide to coldly murder Bobby Kent. This movie has very graphic sex and violence scenes.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
