Directed by Lee Hirsch and written by Hirsch and Cynthia Lowen with a cast that is fascinating to watch, BULLY depicts the effects of bullying on the victims those that do the bullying and those that stand by and do nothing about it.
The depictions are strong and hard. I would not characterize it as hard core, but it may be disturbing. The filmmakers have presented the audiences with a clear picture of what actually goes on every single day in a school anywhere in the U.S. (an the world). Young peoples' lives are changed forever form the effects of being bullied.
Crediting the filmmakers is correct, but one also has to mention the tireless efforts of the man who made this movie come to light, and created the right public relations campaign that has intrigued so many. That man is Harvey Weinstein, and he is a champion of quality independent movies, documentary or fiction, that probably would not have seen the light of day (bad reviews, no advertising money, etc. if not for his efforts
