In quirky but drab little drama "Bad Behaviour" troubled Jennifer Connelly has unresolved issues with her deceased mum and her stuntwoman daughter (who's shooting a flick in New Zealand) so she checks into Ben Whishaw's new-age hippy-dippy California retreat where she becomes increasingly irked by the pretentiousness of fellow attendees like fashion model Dasha Nekrasova. That leads to the film's one bright spark, but from there it descends back into banality as mother & daughter awkwardly crunch towards reconciliation. Though her performance as the daughter is solid, Alice Englert's debut as writer / director ends up as a sadly morose turd. Flush it.
