► Encounters Award nominee, Berlinale 2023
In the same hotel as Bad Living, several guests reveal their own tangled relationships, quiet frustrations, and emotional breakdowns. Across intersecting stories, the film exposes how seemingly ordinary interactions mask deeper loneliness, resentment, and the fragile facades people maintain in intimate relationships.
« The Berlinale’s decision to programme Bad Living in Competition first and then Living Bad. in the Encounters section feels random as the two films could easily be viewed the other way round. Both are finely gauged works of art that comment on and feed off one another. » (Screen Daily)
