What is the Plot of Bad Behaviour?
Lucy (Connelly), a former child actress, seeks healing from the traumas of her life. She embarks on a spiritual retreat, only for it to become anything but healing: she’s easily annoyed by the other attendees and wants attention from the retreat’s new-age guru Elon Bello. Even worse, she has become destructively obsessed with the retreat’s celebrity guest, a model named Beverly. As Beverly finds “enlightenment” easily, Lucy’s feelings of insecurity continue to rise to the surface. During this time, Lucy also tries to connect with her stunt performer adult daughter, Dylan, who’s currently on set in New Zealand. Dylan’s falling into an obsession of her own: a bad romance with the main actor Elmore, whose insistence on doing his own stunts will have disastrous consequences. Brutal incidents in both women’s worlds force them to back together to confront their personal demons and their own relationship.
The film is produced by Desray Armstrong and Molly Hallam, with production companies including Sandy Lane Productions, Ask About My Films, New Zealand Film Commission, and Bee-hive Productions. It is distributed by Ahi Films. (Watch the trailer)
The film had its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2023.
