Chicago Reader
The tone -- a combination of earnestness and gallows humor -- is strangely appropriate. - 80
Newsweek
Ferocious and sometimes creepily funny, Bully is a raunchy suburban "Crime and Punishment." - 63
Boston Globe
Nothing new to say, and, in the end, no real point to make. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Clark denies his audience the catharsis, resolution and renewal of classical tragedy. The film reduces its viewers to helplessness, and I'm not sure that's its intent. - 50
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
It feels like a peek into the closet of a pedophile and it's genuinely discomforting. - 30
New Times (L.A.)
Like the recent "Baise-moi," Bully is a whole lot of shock and titillation trying to pretend it's saying something. Unlike the French import, however, there's no awareness of its own absurdity, nor anything for the audience to care about in the slightest. - 30
Los Angeles Times
Whatever his intentions, Clark, in his third outing as a director, has come up with a film that is seriously flawed. - 20
Village Voice
The script is worse than slack, and despite its lurid premise, Bully doesn't have "Kids" tabloid immediacy.
