Bad Behaviour (2023) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

My first solo film of 2024. Just me in a cinema and after half an hour I was beginning to understand why! "Lucy" (Jennifer Connelly) is trying to have a phone conversation with her daughter "Dylan" (auteur Alice Englert) whilst en route to a remote Oregon retreat. She's thousands of miles away in New Zealand and we get the distinct impression that she's not especially interested. That's a feeling that's quite contagious as we all now endure her experience at the spiritual "Loveranch". A supposedly tech-free place run by "Elon" (Ben Whishaw) that encourages people to open their hearts, their souls and their brains to meaningless waffle about finding yourself. Now insofar as this is supposed to be a parody of this kind of rip-off facility, it sort of works - especially with the arrival of model and DJ "Beverly" (Dasha Nekrasova) to whom "Lucy" takes not just an instant dislike but also the leg of a chair! Meantime the daughter has an incident of her own on the whacky film set where she is stunt artist. That results in her losing her job and racing home to be by the side of her now incarcerated mother. If you weren't bored already, then the best is yet to come - a positively nauseating tale of family discord, a suicide attempt involving some pills and the shallow end of a swimming pool and, finally, some meaningful conversations amidst the forest with running water gently trickling a-foot! Can they salvage the relationship? Does it need savaging? Do we care? Perhaps this read better as a script, and there are times when I felt the wrath of "Lucy" emanating from the screen, but for the most part this is the stuff of a really poor stage play that reminded me again that Ben Whishaw is no great shakes at all on the big screen - indeed, I wonder if he was actually acting at all! As "Yoda" might have said - one fun scene does not a movie make.

Jennifer Connelly excels in her devestating true to life performance as a mentally torn up mother.

Starts out as a subtle, but very efficient witty satire about people trying to heal themselves in a meditative retreat weekend, but then suddenly half way through (just as I was wondering if anything dramatic would happen) things turn bleak with an out of wack violent plot turn that I really hadnt seen coming.The good: a truly brilliant acting performance by Jennifer Connelly, whom we all know from her pretty face roles in the nineties and on (Top Gun), but Top Gun fans stay away from this movie, because this is serious hardhitting drama and no fluffy action romance.Jennifer Connelly now shows her real acting capabilities with a devestating performance as a mother, who is "DEAD INSIDE" and cant stand to live in her own skin and who has passed her mental pain on to her daughter with a lot of soul wrecking negative fallout. And that is the core of this subtle, bleak drama.Art house movie fans beware, this is one solid acting gem, with long unedited takes, beautiful photography and sound. I truly applaud the direction by Alice Englert!Slow, but gripping. Bleak, yet still warm and endearing. Cold, but so humanlike. I am impressed!
