Recensioni di Metacritic

It’s everything a screen drama and indie film should be — a novel story, characters we rarely see and care about and immersion in a world we know nothing about.

A sensitive, if occasionally orthodox, treatment of a compassionate friendship enacted in the face of societal apathy.

A tough but affecting film ... The fact that this never comes across as maudlin is tribute to a director who knows her way through dark places, and a pair of actors who can create a quiet storm.

Director Annie Silverstein doesn’t elevate these conventions to new heights, but understands their potential well enough to craft an absorbing window into marginalized lives.

This is an affecting, admirably disciplined first film, one that patiently enfolds you rather than pandering for your attention.

A slow-burn drama with familiar contours but a sure sense of place and a great deal of restrained empathy.

I like that Bull is shot beautifully in a slice-of-life style of storytelling. ... It’s a subtle tale about the bonds of friendship in times of hopelessness.

While admirably eschewing any "God’s Little Acre"-like sensationalism, the movie has little compelling dramatic energy. While the near-absence of emotional commotion doesn’t hobble Bull, there’s no question it keeps it tied down.

Director Annie Silverstein tries to enrich the tropes of her class-conscious buddy scenario by canceling them out.

A disappointment ... The story feels lean, and most of the cast, while convincing, don’t leap off the screen the way the ensemble in an Andrea Arnold movie does.
