Los Angeles Times

Aug 16, 2018

This is a different kind of monster movie, no doubt. It’s beautiful and magical, and as aware of the real world as it is of classic Hollywood. Good Manners is a haunting tale of love — and the burdens that come with it.

By Noel Murray FULL REVIEW

Jul 26, 2018

Pulling off an ambitious mash-up of genres like Good Manners is no easy feat — that Dutra and Rojas pull it off so successfully suggests we’ll be hearing a lot more from them down the road.

By Oliver Lyttelton FULL REVIEW

Jul 24, 2018

There’s nothing especially wrong with the arty horror movie that Good Manners becomes, mind you, and the metamorphosis (unexpected, for those who haven’t read a review or seen the poster image, anyway) offers pleasures of its own.

By Mike D'Angelo FULL REVIEW

Jul 25, 2018

Rojas and Dutra have created a singular fable where anxiety and fear are directed inward, even when the danger is all too real.

By Serena Donadoni FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Jul 26, 2018

The first hour is the strongest, graced as it is by Estiano's nuanced performance as a conventional-seeming young woman who gradually and very sympathetically reveals her inner self after welcoming Clara into her life.

By Neil Young FULL REVIEW

For a first half so rich in plot, subtext and genres, it feels somehow frustrating to see Good Manners’s potential stall a little as the feature enters its second part.

By Leonardo Goi FULL REVIEW

Jul 27, 2018

The film is a rebellion of surfaces that never quite reaches, or emanates from, the underpinning roots of its fable.
