Amber Havard and Rob Morgan co-star in 'Bull,' a drama about a troubled teen in a poor Houston neighborhood who comes under the tutelage of her neighbor.
The indie drama “Bull” is a fine example of what used to be called a “regional” film: a modestly scaled, character-driven motion picture where the particulars of the location matter more than the plot or the style. In this case, that place is Texas.
Amber Havard plays Kris, a teenage delinquent living with her grandma while her drug-dealing mother is in prison. When Kris and her friends trash her next-door neighbor Abe’s house, she avoids jail by becoming Abe’s assistant and companion and in the process learns about his life working at rodeos. Rob Morgan plays Abe, who used to ride bulls but now just wrangles them, as a kind of rodeo clown — whenever he can take enough pills to quiet his aches and pains. Abe is part of a rarely recognized subculture of black rodeo riders and performers. He’s reluctant at first to become a mentor to some poor white girl who can’t stay out of trouble. avoids outsized drama or contrivance. The conflicts are grounded. Abe struggles with feeling irrelevant and forgotten on the rodeo circuit.
