With film festival season officially set to begin later this week, as the Sundance Film Festival kicks off, we are in for another spring/summer/fall full of big debuts and plenty of surprises.

“Bull” was chosen to take part in the Un Certain Regard section of last year’s Cannes Film Festival. In our review of the film from the festival, we said, “‘Bull’ is no fairy tale. It’s a hardscrabble tale of one singular bond amidst a landscape of socio-economic struggle. To borrow a quote from Abe, ‘Don’t get more American than that.’”
“Bull” stars Rob Morgan, Yolonda Ross, and Amber Havard. The drama is directed by Annie Silverstein. The filmmaker is probably best known for her documentary work, with “Bull” marking her narrative feature debut.
