Trivia:
The original idea was for the first half of the movie (the scenes in Bubby's house) to be shot with the left and right sides matted, to make the viewer feel more claustrophobic, and then when Bubby finally goes outside the picture was going to expand into full widescreen. Rolf de Heer decided not to do this because he felt it made the first half of the movie unwatchable. more

Fascinating but difficult to watch in places., 4 April 2002
7/10
Author: John Taylor (jdtaylor@btinternet.com) from Bedfordshire, England

I dont think i have ever seen a film quite like Bad Boy Bubby or am ever likely to see another like it. It is a piece of film making that is not scared to show or say anything that might be seen as taboo in many people's eyes. We see scenes that involve incest,Murder,exploitation , extremely bad language and the mentaly handicapped yet this film, disturbing as it is , has a certain charm like no other. Nicholas Hope is fantastic as Bubby and gives a display like none that i have seen in a long while. It could not have been easy taking on the role of a retarded man and having to do the thing that he does in the film.

As i have mentioned this film is disturbing and may upset many people. i would not recommend it for family viewing but i would recommend it to any film buff. Finally i must repeat the line that the factory worker teaches to Bubby, because it is so true and it stands for everything that i believe in. " Think god out of existance,it is our duty to insult him,strike me down if you dare to,you tyrant, you non existent fraud. It is the duty to think god out of existance , because then and only then do we take full responsibility for who we are!" A quite brilliant piece of writing. 7 out of 10.
