Robin says: “BULLY depicts a microcosm, of our society of under-educated, under-motivated, under-employed and over-sexed
teenagers with too much free time and, if Clark’s assessment is correct, under-supervised by their parents. Neither side comes across well in this tome of teen angst as the kids wander around, without a clue, drinking, smoking dope and screwing indiscriminately. The parents don’t come across to well, either, being shown as clueless, too, with their children operating beyond the pale of any reasonable authority – they are kind of like juvenile versions of Colonel Kurtz in APOCALYPSE NOW.” 1/2 a cat
