THR - The Lee Hirsch documentary Bully, given an R-rating stateside by the MPAA, has received an all-clear from British Columbia film censors.

You would think that the studios would like to spread their films around a bit so that a lot of new releases wouldn't come out the same week but here we are again. One of, if not the biggest movie of last year spies its way onto Blu-ray and is joined by RZA's directorial debut, a flowery teenage 'dramedy', 2012's only film about a virgin stuck in an iron lung, a couple of Showtime's most heralded shows, and we are beckoned back to Silent Hill. For once there isn't much of note concerning catalog titles, hopefully we'll have more luck next week.
Although a confronting and heartbreaking look into a relevant social issue, Bully only skims the surface leaving viewers with more questions than answers.
LRA writes: We still find ourselves playing catch up this week as we cover a variety of topics including the recently announced blu-ray for Jaws, the multiple blu-ray "edishuns" for a favorite here on the show The FP, two new documentaries, Comic-Con Episode 4: A Fan's Hope and Bully, the brand new animated television series The Legend of Korra and then I give my thoughts on the new indie film Jeff Who Lives at Home as well as my Netflix Instant Stream Movie of the Week. We then conclude with a very in depth look at one of the best horror films to come along in years with our discussion on The Cabin in the Woods. The show may be a little long this week but I think the content justifies the length. Featured music is from "The Cabin in the Woods" motion picture soundtrack.
I guess they want to get families to see this. If it is a good documentary then maybe they should have it as something shown at a teachers workshop or make it something all teachers and parents should see. I don't know because I haven't seen it but I do know that it is a big problem that needs to be dealt with.
Cool.
