Critics Consensus: Good Manners adroitly juggles disparate tonal shifts while taking a uniquely smart and sensitive look at female relationships.

The filmmakers have a grand habit of stealing from others and making it their own.
"Good Manners" is a haunting tale of love - and the burdens that come with it.
The tone grows increasingly delicate and sweet; in fact the film ends up feeling like a fairy tale.
Swerving from predictable to confounding, dreamy to demented, artful to awkward, this genre-twisting hybrid from Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra links art house and slaughterhouse with unexpected success.
A heady blend of heightened reality and grounded fantasy...
There are moments to treasure throughout, from lovely out-of-nowhere musical numbers to the beautiful hand-drawn stills that depict a key flashback.
Until the film's midpoint heel-turn, Good Manners feels deliciously unpredictable in a way that only daring genre-benders such as this ever really manage.
Told as a modern fairy tale, Good Manners blends fantasy with social strife, crafting a sometimes beautiful, uneven - but undeniably captivating - film.
"One of the best films of the year, one that transcends genres, formulas and cinephile winks".
Good Manners is a seductive werewolf fairytale that left me feeling stunned, exhilarated, and craving more.
While the film does have its weak spots, including some out-of-place CGI, they're worth ignoring, as Dutra and Rojas deliver a smart, sensitive film with just enough gore to keep it interesting.
A loving tribute to the classic Hollywood films of the 1940s (those sets! those backdrops!) as well as monster movies from the same era.
Even if this atypical film is quite surprising and almost perfect in the way it combines several different genres (including musical) into something akin to a naturalistic fairy tale, it is only a pity, though, that it is not really clear what the directors wanted to say with all this.
