Add excessive angst to massive confusion in criminal intent and you get a mess like "Bullhead". Bruno Dumont (sort of) covered the same territory (minus the sexual mutilation) in "L'il Quin-Quin" and was a lot better. Docked a notch (or…

A startling, painful, brilliant movie, and an extraordinary breakthrough film for Matthias Schoenaerts.

Jackie is a character that I still think about sometimes....haunting

Strong plot and difficult to watch movie. As onions, it has many layers of lecture and certainly will require more than one viewing to grasp the whole meaning in it. Impressed with the plot and the characters. Thumb up!.

What separates this amazing film from the usual crop of crime dramas is that the focus is not on police procedures but rather on the dark and complex character of Jacky. A heavily muscled brutish man given to fits of violent anger, Jacky’s…

Jacky and Diederic, the main protagonists, haven’t seen each other for decades when they find themselves joined in a criminal enterprise relating to adding growth hormones to cows, etc. to increase their value. In their childhood, they…

Great movie. like someone else, I stumbled on this...was interested in seeing the French/Flemish background just out out of curiosity about Belgium and found a film with an intricate suspense and real depth of character development that…

This movie is as brilliant as it is stupid. The story for the most part is very well written and you get the feeling of a very good Quentin Tarantino movie in the making with many interesting characters and sub stories but for the final…

This was an unexpected gem of a film to stumble across. Yes, it's grim, and there are some parts that are hard to watch, but the story is fully engrossing.

One particularly violent and cruel scene calls for warning about extreme violence in this flick. And it makes one wonder if it's justified. The gritty plot is very intense and certainly gripping. The director shies from overtly calling for…

It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”

Intense, well-acted foreign crime darma/character study. Graphic. Some great scenes of symbolism. I didn't love the movie, and it seemed a little overlong, but I did like and enjoy it for the most part.

Unusual and very well done movie. The story idea originated as a statement on steroid use in cattle on Belgium farms. It was interesting to watch the parallels between the main character and the cattle unfold. I thought it was superbly…

This is a story of a tragic life that is sometimes difficult to watch, yet you can't turn away. Very different film...like nothing I've seen before.

Good - Bullhead (2011) 124 min. [Foreign (Dutch/French - Belgium)] Curiously well made film about a thug, who through the narrative of the film, we get to understand why he is the way he is. Like all good movies, we have a character that I…

I thoroughly enjoyed this film as it was very difficult to categorize and featured some strong performances by as un-Hollywood a collection of Belgian actors as one might ever find (no Van Damme sightings here!). I think both the director…

Definitely worthy of its Oscar nomination in 2012 in the Foreign Film Category. The lead actor is reminiscent of a young Jean Reno. Great story and superb cinematography!

Pretty rough and intense and certainly original and gripping.
