Nasty indeed. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) 04/10/2016
2/5
This is one of those awkward films that depicts complacent characters while itself looking complacent, and Silva never quite seems in control of his volatile material. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Radio Times 04/08/2016

Silva captures the boho hipster milieu of the Brooklyn setting, but adds a sense of unease ... Go to Full Review Jaime Grijalba Vague Visages 12/01/2023
Ridiculous, outrageous and weirdly disjointed but still fascinating to watch, this movie derails in its last 20 minutes, but it’s still a fascinating experiment. Go to Full Review Nick Evan-Cook One Room With A View 05/16/2019
4/5
Nasty Baby won't be for everybody, but offers plenty to think about for those willing to be swept along. Go to Full Review Beth McDonough The Babbling Blonde 05/09/2019
B-
Although occasionally trying and failing to balance the array of stories it aims to tell, Nasty Baby's performances and conclusion provide a method to the madness as it reminds us of the constant state of the human condition. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ozden O 03/02/2024 Sebastian Silva'nın izlediğim 2. filmi. "LA NANA" gibi mutlu bir son beklerken böyle bir sona hazır değildim. Bir bitki aşığı olarak ev çok hoşuma gitti. Sanat eseri olarak ortaya koymaya çalıştığı dahi anladım. Bir "deli" ile baş etmeyi bilmeyen çocukların çocuk sahibi olmakta çok kararı olmaları bir zıtlık sanırım. "Psikopos"la ilk olumsuz bir karşılaşma yaşadılar, sonra sokak satışında keyifli bir konuşma olsa da sonrasında hep olumsuz karşılaşmalar söz konusu oldu. Ama "Psikopos"la tüm karşılaşmalarında öfkenin ya da umursamazlığın etkisindeydi Freddy. Belki sanatını oluştururken de bu yüzeyselliği sürdürdü. Sahi sanat eserine ne oldu? La Nana"daki gibi bir etkili bir mesaj beklememeliydim. Biraz daha düşüneceğim şey var ama son bir cümle: Öfkeyle kalkan zararla oturur. See more Richard D 09/20/2023 Well. When I watch a movie I am settled in when I believe the characters. In Nasty Baby I do. We are taken through a series of tableau like settings that comment subtly, slyly and directly on our social and moral spheres - the white mothers and their black babies in a funky footpath coffee shop to the sister of one of the main gay characters suggesting that maybe her brother's lifestyle is not really right. I love the scenes and settings and think, haha! This is good! They're working it all out. Yeah. But then everything changes abruptly and I call out Noooo! and leap up from the couch and go to clean my teeth - the whole works, floss, water pic, brush. By which time my bf has given up as well and turned off the telly. But next morning we agree we should give it another go. And we do. It all works. Love it. See more 01/10/2022 I actually enjoyed it. It's well acted and deals with pretty realistic 'daily life' situations. In particular I was quite taken with character Freddy and his struggle with creating his unique cinematic art, while also dealing with borderline uncontrollable anger issues. And it's actually Freddie's issues that play an important part in the film and its overall message. See more Beth S 09/15/2020 I was entertained every minute of this movie. See more 09/10/2019 Confusing tonal shifts. But I enjoyed the dark humor and messed up moments. See more 07/10/2018 another movie without a resolution at the end... See more Read all reviews
