Bully
($29.99 Blu-ray, $24.99 DVD; Anchor Bay)

Lee Hirsch catches kids and adults behaving badly in this heartwrenching documentary about bullying and how it’s dealt with in some communities. Shooting over a year, Hirsch interviewed parents of preteens children who committed suicide because of bullying, and chronicled galling acts of abuse, particularly against Alex, a Sioux City 12-year-old whose daily bus ride includes being punched, choked, and stabbed with pencils. A wealth of extras includes a specially cut version for younger audiences, deleted scenes, updates, and more.

      “gripping piece of modern neorealism that never condescends or resorts to sentimental Hollywood parlor tricks.”

      ROFLMAO

      sorry, you mean a film that resorts to all of the crassest of French cinema’s pitiful stereotypes?

      @MikeE: I read that and couldn’t get past the ridiculous ego blowjob Lawrence gave himself when he thought of it.

      Surprised it didn’t descend into a full rant about how Herzog and Kurosawa on their own are better than anything anyone in the west has ever produced. So I guess he gets kudos for that.

      He also scores points for not going on and on about David Lynch.
