		1 The behavior engaged in by bullies: bullying
		An extreme case of school-yard bullying is that of an eighth grader named Curtis Taylor at a middle school in Iowa.

	Bully (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bully is a 2001 movie, based on actual events, which stars Brad Renfro, Rachel Miner, Bijou Phillips, Nick Stahl and Michael Pitt.
		One of the main elements of the film is the love triangle that develops between Marty, Lisa, and "the Bully" (Stahl).
		The lack of parental control was also a main focus of the film prompting the tagline "Where were the parents?" The film was released to critical acclaim and many compared it as being on par with Clark's earlier work Kids.

	Film Reviews on CLUAS - Bully
		The ‘bully’ of the title, Kent is a repugnant, schizophrenic character, who interacts with his fellow characters mainly by insulting or assaulting them.
		‘Bully’ plays like the scratched and bruised underbelly of MTV — despite all the required props for classic youth film (beautiful young actors, Florida setting and kicking soundtrack) what emerges here is a tale and a portrayal of a way of life so distasteful that to watch a second time would be difficult.
		The ultimate conclusion of Clark’s film does contain a certain element of ‘So What?’ But this is one movie where the ride itself may well be more important that the final destination.

	Hybridmagazine.com \| July 2001 - BULLY (NOT RATED)
		BULLY is a pseudo-documentary revolving around the lives of aimless teens lost in an empty world of sex, drugs, and violence.
		BULLY is based on Jim Schutze’s book of the same name which proclaims to tell “a true story of high school revenge” (the book’s subtitle).
		But worst of all, this film is little more than two hours of an unrestrained depiction of the lives (true or not) of truly fucked up children that never provides any reasonable explanation as to why or investigates the rationale behind such a heinous crime.

	Film: September 13, 2001
		The film is based on the Jim Schutze book of the same name, which is based on a true '93 Florida incident.
		Bully is a great book and in it it's never mentioned that maybe there's some racism there.
		With Bully, I think kids should see the film, even though they won't be able to because of the rating it's received in the U.S. I don't think there's anything wrong with this.

	Film247.net - Bully, film review, movie reviews,
		When you know who brought us this film it doesn't take a genius to know you're not going to leave this screening with a spring in your step and a song in your throat.
		Originally a book by Jim Schutze, writer of colourful non-fiction murder stories, the film was produced by Don Murphy of Natural Born Killers and Chris Hanley of Virgin Suicides and American Psycho and directed by Larry Clark of Kids and Another Day in Paradise.
		Audiences are compelled to keep watching not by sympathetic characters but the morbid curiosity of an accident waiting to happen to some very stupid and messed up (but attractive) people.

	Bully (2001): Reviews
		The film's start-and-go rhythm can be as maddening as the characters' amorality and sheer wallowing stupidity, but Clark has an uncanny talent for putting atmosphere on celluloid.
		My problem is that the lack of narrative structure deprives the film of any suspense, and without suspense the film eventually collapses from its own heat like a soufflé that has been in the oven just a few minutes too long.
		What the film really succeeds at is depicting teenagers as they really are, showing their real sides, their real needs, their real desires, and what can really happen when they go astray.

	Bully: triple j film reviews
		Bully is a remarkable film by an extremely talented filmmaker.
		Bully is fleshy, fragmented and disturbing, and if it is possible, perhaps an even more powerful dip into the suburban psychosis infecting middle America than Clark's debut kids.
		What to say, Bully has a lot going for it in terms of the things that would rate well at a film school assessment- it has great interesting camera work, it's been well conceived, it has the required 'darkness' and 'away from the mainstream' shock value.

		Bully is another film from Larry Clark, so from the outset, you know what to expect.
		The rest of the cast is unarguably talented, the highlight being Nick Stahl as the titular bully.
		If you enjoyed any of Larry Clark's other films or are a fan of the teen crime suspense sub-genre, this is the film for you.

	MovieFreak.Com - Bully Movie Review
		On the contrary, the film has its share of sane and rational teens, but it is from the other side of the pole that we get to see the mindlessness of a group of kids.
		It’s been a while since I have seen an excellent film this year (the last one being Panic), and I can safely say that the summer drought is temporarily over with my viewing of Bully.
		Before I went to see it, I have not read anything about this film in terms of plot or reviews, and I had no idea who was in it, who directed it and so forth, and boy was I in for a surprise.

	MovieMaker Magazine \| Issue #43 \| Larry Clark’s Loss of Sexual Innocence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Since Bully opens with a close-up of a young man asserting “I want you to suck my big dick,” (closely followed by the first female-spoken line of dialogue: “His cock is beautiful, and he ate me out for, like, an hour”), it should be no surprise where the film progresses from there.
		Bully presents itself as courageous sociological examination, but Clark seems to thrive on the visceral spectacle of lithe young bodies on the blissfully ignorant path to moral holocaust.
		Bully was supposed to be made a couple years ago, but everyone backed away from it because of Columbine—everyone was afraid of the story.

		But it never feels like it's there as a way to draw attention or criticism to the film - it's all there as a part of the story, it often gives the characters their depth and strengthens the underlying themes, and it never feels tacked-on.

	Bully (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The film is deeply depressing for any number of reasons, and director Larry Clark -- who made the controversial "Kids," about New York teens screwed up by drugs and unprotected sex -- seems to like it that way.
		The unrated, sexually graphic film will certainly attract attention in specialty venues but is too marginal to win a major adult audience.
		A well-recruited cast give the film a sense of trapped lives, of kids whose blinkered vision obscures a range of choices they refuse to consider.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Bully" review (2001) Larry Clark, Brad Renfro, Rachel Miner, Nick Stahl, Bijou Phillips, Michael Pitt
		"Bully" isn't quite as coarse, but may be more chilling as it is based on true events: The circumstances surrounding the very premeditated but very sloppy slaying of a malevolent south Florida delinquent who physically intimidated and verbally abused his friends until, well, they killed him.
		He goes out of his way to demonstrate how these kids' parents are totally oblivious to the abhorrent facts of their children's lives, but he makes no attempt to analyze why these wretched guttersnipes are so screwed up in the first place.
		One other big question mark hanging over "Bully" is the fact that this account is highly fictionalized (it's based on a book by Texas journalist Jim Schutze) and its characterizations and conclusions have been rabidly disputed by those close to the admitted killers.

		The magnitude of the bully's tyranny is disturbing because this is a true stroy, and it is only one of many.
		Bully is a powerful film from the same director who did kids which I hated but Bully is a great film even if there are many disgusting scenes.
		Bully has a lot of spunk and it feels at times that it grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go.

	.::ON-FILM.NET -- REVIEW: "THE ANT BULLY" By Bill Ramey::.

		The films stars the voices of Zach Tyler, Regina King, Nicolas Cage, Julia Roberts, Lily Tomlin, Meryl Streep, Bruce Campbell, Rob Paulsen, Paul Giamatti, Frank Welker, and S. Scott Bullock.
		Consequently, that’s one of the faults of THE ANT BULLY.

	Bully (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		A brilliant film that fearlessly explores the lives of a group of aimless, middle-class Florida teenagers who plan to murder one of their friends.
		Bully, though filtered through Clark's particular and somewhat fatalistic perspective of American youth, is authentic.
		There's something troubling about a film which, on the one hand, wants to take a moral stance about a lost generation, and on the other relishes shooting the nubile flesh of its young actors.

	INDIERAG: REVIEWS: Bully
		"Bully" is based on Jim Shutze's account of a real-life crime in Hollywood Florida where a few middle-class white trash teens brutally murdered one of their friends, Bobby Kent, on July 14, 1993.
		The film's success lies in Clark's ability to pull together the multiple viewpoints and the scattered events and episodes into a compelling, intense and lean narrative.
		That's what independent films are about: the filmmaker makes whatever he wants to make with the secondary hope that it will connect to an audience.

	Bully Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		In Bully, for example, there are two blatant crotch shots of Bijou Phillips, who plays a thick-headed tramp named Ali with a penchant for short-shorts.
		The film is based on the factual case of a group of Florida stoners who decide to kill a fringe member of their pack.
		At the beginning of his film, Clark seems to be asking viewers to feel sympathy for these benighted kids, but by the end, he's making fun of them.

		Larry Clark's film "Bully" follows a dysfunctional group of Florida teens as their lives take a turn towards a horrific tragedy.
		"Bully" is a frightening portrayal of a nihilistic adolescent wasteland.
		Although the events upon which the film is based take place in 1993, the film itself is deliberately not set in 1993, but in 2001, to avoid any potential problems with anachronisms.

	Bully - Movie Review
		A slam-dunk natural subject for Clark, Bully follows the based-on-reality story of Marty Puccio (Brad Renfro), who along with his girlfriend Lisa (Rachel Miner) decides to brutally slay his "best friend" Bobby (Nick Stahl) as payback for a lifetime of abuse.
		Even Bobby's clueless father is oblivious to his son's actions; in fact, all the parents in the film are ignorant to the actions of their children.
		Laden with a striking amount of graphic, sweaty, and frequently brutal teen sex, its stars covered with a disturbing number of scars and bruises, Bully is as difficult to watch as Kids, and it is equally as assured.

		BULLY DANCE is the third film in the ShowPeace series -- lively, animated films designed to explore issues of conflict and dispute resolution.
		In the film a community is disrupted when a bully victimizes a smaller member of the group.

	BULLY - DVD
		What continues to appall me about Bully is but a by-product of the film: its raw depiction of sex has overshadowed an incendiary act of violence around which everything else orbits.
		The protagonists' relentless, veracious witlessness is hopefully more unsettling than the film's explicit nature; in the case of the stoners, we sense a façade, and wonder if they ever inhale.
		It is: remember that the film was exhibited in moviehouses last summer sans MPAA rating.

	Larry Clark's "Bully"-- Too Much "KIDS," not Enough Story
		I know that was the feeling I had when walking into Larry Clark's newest film, "Bully." I wanted to see Clark move beyond "KIDS," the 1995 film he directed, and make a movie that wasn't just some sorry excuse to show barely legal T and A every chance given.
		Unfortunately, not even a minute into "Bully," I knew that this wasn't going to be that film.
		"Bully," based on the novel by Jim Schutze, takes a serious, real life story, and makes it the background to a film that simply shows Clark's obsession to parade around numerous teenaged characters so absorbed into the world of sex that they seem to be from a different planet.

		Meanwhile, his loving but kinda kooky grandmother Mommo (Lily Tomlin) spends all her time trying to protect the family from those space aliens she's been reading about in the grocery store magazines.
		To make matters worse, Lucas has become the number one target of neighbourhood bully Steve, who never misses an opportunity to push him around.
		In turn, Lucas delights in destroying ant hills in his yard - venting his frustration on the defenceless mounds of dirt and their tiny inhabitants by kicking them, stomping them and squirting them with the garden hose.

		Their presence is what keeps the remainder of the film slightly engaging-- that and the fact that over an hour into the film the story suddenly decides to have character development.
		"Bully" could have been an eye-opening exploration of the boundaries of friendship as well as the tolerance a teen can have towards his high school bullies.
		Those involved in the real life story this film is based on should be disgusted-- for both sides were truly cheated out of the respect they deserved.

	Joey the Film Geek: Reviews - "Bully"
		He was the kid in the Mel Gibson movie, "The Man Without a Face." He was also in a movie called "Disturbing Behavior," which is probably a more appropriate title for THIS movie.
		"Bully" is a good movie that has quite a few shocking moments.
		"Bully," on the other hand, went WAY further than an R-rating would allow, and REALLY deserved to be Unrated.

		For the past 10 years a major percentage of the films have been selected with this theme at Stockholm and this year it started to feel tiresome though a common theory for why the theme keeps getting repeated is that its considered 'exotic' within the Swedish youth scene.
		A documentary film made on the pornographic content of late night cable TV programming led to the resignation of the 'erotic' programmer of TV1000, one of the previous festival sponsors.
		Two films made by women were part of the international competition this year: Îles Flottantes (Floating Islands) by Nanouk Leopold of the Netherlands about the trials of three women who are close friends and Rain by Katherine Lindberg about a woman at the edge in a small southern town, a film produced by Martin Scorsese.
