      Jessica Kiang Variety Canijo appears to be going for a tragic, Bergmanesque effect — there are a lot of windows and mirrors into which one or other woman can stare pensively — but with such a lack of human warmth, the tragedy never really grips. Feb 26, 2023 Full Review Leslie Felperin Hollywood Reporter Punishingly slow, grandiloquently depressing and ultimately not even especially convincing psychologically, Bad Living feels like the work of people who sincerely believed they were making great art. Sadly, they were mistaken. Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Frank J. Avella Awards Daily ...for over two unrelentingly grim hours we are forced into their cruel and vicious world...Canijo loves to sit his camera down for interminable periods for long and extreme-long shots, resulting in a need to squint to see what is going on. Rated: D Dec 2, 2023 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film It comprises framed static shots and a lingering camera that gives space for the characters to conceive their emotions unhurriedly. Rated: A Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The vibe for this misogynist family drama is bitchy and discomforting. Rated: B- Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Gayle Sequeira Film Companion A fraught mother-daughter drama that understands the impulse to furiously push someone away when all you want is for them to hold you closer.
