Bad Fever Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Heavy on the awkward silences and joggling, invasive close-ups.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
As the camera skitters spastically around its troubled schlub, the film becomes a muddy, minimalist moan of desperation.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Audley, a helmer in his own right, somehow infuses Eddie with a compelling presence that exerts an offbeat authenticity.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
From its opening white-letters-on-red-background credit sequence to its diligent focus on a wayward loner drifting about the outskirts of society and sanity, Bad Fever has the empathetic soul of '70s American filmmaking.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Defa exerts delicate control over his incendiary material and evokes emotional terrors with a sympathetic directness; his raw-toned drama is quietly hectic and brutally poignant.
Slant Magazine
Calum Marsh
Rather than express any emotional truth of its own, Bad Fever merely adopts an attitude that resembles one.
