By shattering genre conventions, Silva subverts traditional perspectives on modern adulthood and finds no easy answers in the process.

Pleasantly involving and sometimes annoying throughout most of its running time, this is also a vibrant, thoughtful piece about modern life in a very particular gentrified neighborhood.

The film takes a dark turn at the end, and while the two sides of Nasty Baby are interesting, well-made, and well-performed, they feel like two completely different movies.

The film is a compelling addition to Sebastián Silva's cinema of compassionate comeuppance.

Nasty Baby isn't satisfying. But on Silva's terms, it makes sense.

I disliked it at first — the camera is as jittery as the characters — and kept disliking it until I realized that I’d been drawn in, if not exactly captivated. The film itself is alive with random energy that foreshadows a surprise ending without blowing the surprise.

Silva does manage to introduce discomfort slowly, but the manner in which things go very, very wrong is dealt with superficially.

Silva assembles a loosely scripted, raucously nonconformist laffer that looks like it’s going one way, only to arrive somewhere else entirely — a change of heart that’s not at all to the advantage of a film.

Wiig and Adebimpe give appealing, naturalistic performances — it’s Silva’s character who grate.

At long last, Nasty Baby decides what it wants to be: a complete mess.
