Bad Behaviour

This movie was well written. The acting was extremely good. This movie won't serve most people because it doesn't have aliens, gangsters, monsters zombies, or major crisis that needs to be averted.

The backdrop isn't the predictable NYC nor any other major city. The characters are average people. No high profile, rich, and powerful careers. This film was about a woman struggling with indifference, regret, guilt, and shame. She carried anger around for the way her mother treated her and is reflecting if she hadn't done the same to her adult daughter.

Mom went to a retreat to reconnect to an inner peace. Emotions were brought to the surface that we're dormant for so long. I know a few women in my life that act just like the mom did here played by Jennifer Connelly. The daughter, played by Alice Englert was equally impressive.

A great story about people suffering but trying to do their best. Some may say it's a movie about a mother and daughter dealing with mental health issues. Perhaps. I saw it more as two women dealing with their past, present, and future, like so many others, at this moment in time.
