Bully is a mere description of suburban American teenagers without a soul and without a mind. Sometimes it's just unbearable to watch, the camera work sometimes is confusing and some dialogues are dull. But maybe Clark intended to do it this way. But, maybe it's Clark's most realistic movie. Whereas the characters in 'Kids' actually were human beings, worrying about themselves, the characters in 'Bully' don't have the ability to think for themselves or to feel human emotions. They are on drugs, not only alcohol, sex and weed, but they're also addicted - or heavily tied to - American suburban life: malls, middle class cars, stupid jobs. They don't have any ability to think BEYOND that lifestyle, and neither does the film. Some scenes with their parents are extremely strong. It's a sad film because I didn't think that the decay of American teenagers has advanced so rapidly. Not all of them of course, but the lifestyle portrayed in 'Bully' actually IS typically US-American.
