Bull

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.
