Bull / 1 hr. 48 min.A teenage girl develops a passion for bull riding after she trashes a neighbor's house and is forced to make amends by helping an aging ex-bull rider who works on the Texas rodeo circuit.

The characters don't or don't want to say much about what they are thinking or show much about what they are feeling. They lie a lot.
