Bull

About This Movie

Bull (2020) is a gritty exploration of human connection set against the stark backdrop of an almost desolate Texas subdivision. The atmosphere is heavy, with the weight of unfulfilled dreams hanging in the air. This film dives into themes of resilience and the clash of wills, as a troubled teen finds herself in a tense relationship with a jaded bullfighter, both characters dealing with their own pasts. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for a slow burn that draws you into their world. Performances are raw and real, capturing the essence of their struggles without the gloss. What stands out is how the film uses the setting almost as another character, enhancing the story's emotional depth through practical effects and a haunting score. A solid watch for those who appreciate character-driven narratives.
