Visually, tonally and emotionally, Bull is a commanding and satisfying depiction of a harsh reality that is served cold. However, there’s a warmth, sincerity, and enchanting fragility running through its veins that balances the piece perfectly. It’s a masterstroke that will leave audiences as broken as they will be hopeful.

Kris, a headstrong teenager from a rural neighborhood in Houston, is destined to follow her mother to the state penitentiary, until she’s forced to work for her equally willful neighbor, Abe, an aging bullfighter struggling to keep a foothold in the rodeo circuit. Drawing consolation from an unlikely bond, Kris and Abe both attempt to right their paths, before it’s too late.

The feature debut from Annie Silverstein, presented in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Festival, opens an absorbing window into marginalized lives with a great deal of restrained empathy.
