"A great film is the result of the artistic contributions of many of its makers: The actors who embody the rich and complex inner lives of their characters, a cinematographer and editor who give a form to the world of the story, and a writer and director at an absolute level of narrative mastery. Epic in scale, and with the ironic wit of a 19th century novel, this is a film about the human tragicomedy that never loses its compassion for the many characters whose individual stories it weaves together in a seamless whole. The jury unanimously gives the award for the Best Portuguese Feature Film to: Mal viver / Viver mal."

"We also want to make an honorable mention to "Mal Viver / Viver Mal". With its stunningly intimate photography, acting that brings the emotion of this difficulty of living together into the picture, and a screenplay that explores these "motherhood" relationships between women, like we have never seen before with such a sharp humor and sentiment. Our best wishes and congratulations to the film crew and a special one to João Canijo, to whom our words do no justice."
