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.

Very interesting film with a great take on the contemporary hipster NY scene. The plot twist excellently executed, further emphasized the main characters attitude about life.

A touching, realistic tale of love and happiness until it turns dark and horrifying. An excellent, interesting way to spend 90 minutes. One of the biggest surprises of the year.

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.

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

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

Ultimately, Silva’s uneven command of tone undoes whatever goodwill his actors have managed to generate. They — and we — deserve much better than this.

An interesting and current thematic although it was released three years ago, nevertheless feels uneven and frankly it never ends up being outstanding in any aspect.
The film is saved by the good performances of its cast and even though the film falters in moments it never becomes a bad experience.

The movie was all over the place. They seemed to be shooting at a lot of different ideas to perhaps keep the story chaotic? Life is after all chaotic and hard to plan for. That would be a cool but the ending was far from realistic.
