Bad Behaviour

About This Movie

Bad Behaviour is an interesting blend of comedy and drama, driven by the dynamic between Lucy, a former child star, and her daughter Dylan, who’s in the stunt game. The tone is a mix of lighthearted moments with some serious undercurrents, which really showcases the complexities of their relationship. Alice Englert's direction has this refreshing pacing that keeps you engaged without feeling rushed. The retreat setting, led by the eccentric spiritual leader Elon, adds an almost surreal atmosphere, contrasting with the rawness of their interpersonal conflicts. Performances are compelling, particularly the mother-daughter chemistry that feels very real, slightly messy and relatable. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s definitely distinctive with its exploration of personal growth amidst family chaos.

Strong performances from the lead actresses.Interesting use of retreat as a narrative backdrop.Mix of humor and poignant moments throughout.
