Alpha Dog
Why this pick
Another fact-based portrait of reckless young friends whose casual cruelty and peer pressure harden into catastrophe, shot with similarly sun-bleached immediacy.
03
Super Dark Times
Why this pick
Its suburban adolescence turns abruptly sinister, sustaining Bully’s dread around masculinity, secrecy and the corrosive aftermath of one violent decision.
04
Blue Spring
Why this pick
This stark Japanese youth drama shares Bully’s alienated, unsentimental view of boys performing toughness as friendship, boredom and violence bleed together.
05
Gummo
Why this pick
For Bully’s raw, discomfiting glimpse of aimless youth and social decay, Gummo offers an even more fragmented, grimy and confrontational American portrait.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Ali Willis and Lisa Connelly are friends with Bobby Kent and Marty Puccio. They all go out on a double date. While in a parked car, Ali performs oral sex on Bobby, while Lisa and Marty have sex in the back seat. Lisa later learns she is pregnant, but is afraid that the child is Bobby's instead of Ali's, since Bobby raped her after beating Marty unconscious.
