Audience Member This is a character study. It's slow, methodical, and isn't intended to tell a riveting story. That said, the characters were fantastic and gave me a raw and realistic window into a world and experience I have very little understanding of. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Movie was slow to develop, had multiple story lines and didn't fully develop a single one of them. This movie had great potential but like so many decorated movies, in the end, it wasted two hours of my life which I will never get back. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Bull is a film about a young teen girl who has been on the wrong side of the tracks and how she winds up bonding with an aging bullfighter. The two actors are pretty good here and make the story compelling...supporting players are a bit lacking and the ending just kinda is.... but the film was going for a level of observant realism Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review brent m What starts out with much promise unfortunately loses its way in the final act with far too many underdeveloped and unresolved story threads. This tale of a wayward teen who starts finding her way in life under the reluctant mentorship of her crusty neighbor, a onetime rodeo bull rider beset by borderline addiction issues and chronic health problems, veers off in too many directions that one hopes will eventually come together but don't. While director Annie Silverstein's refreshingly unconventional approach frequently defies expectation in many entertaining and enlightening ways, the filmmaker frequently doesn't seem to know what to do with these developments once she introduces them, especially in the area of character development. Thus the powerful and intriguing setup that emerges in the first two acts is regrettably squandered in the home stretch as the narrative fails to coalesce in a cohesive and impactful way. To the film's credit, Rob Bowman's outstanding lead performance as the aging former rodeo star helps to hold things together well, but even that is ultimately not enough to save this aspiring but wanting debut feature. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave d I love Rob Morgan and he's great, but there just ins't enough connective tissue or words on the page to recommend this. The husband and wife "writing" team of Annie Silverstein (Directed) and Johnny McAllister just don't seem to have a handle on this from jump. Allow me to use that word "writing" LOOSELY as this duo give us a clunker and that's no 'Bull'. It's cast (other than Morgan) poorly and it's a slog. This could have easily and should have been a short. It wasn't worth my time. Final Score: 3.8/10 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the slowest movies I have ever watched.
