Leave your thoughts about Nasty Baby.
| Little White LiesSophie Monks KaufmanWears its brilliant social observations lightly and enjoyably and then with shocking audacity. |
| IndiewireAn BanhBy shattering genre conventions, Silva subverts traditional perspectives on modern adulthood and finds no easy answers in the process. |
| Radio TimesWendy IdeSilva captures the boho hipster milieu of the Brooklyn setting, but adds a sense of unease ... |
| Total FilmJames MottramVeering off in a totally unexpected direction, it features a key role played by House Of Cards' Reg E. Cathey as a local crazy... but to say more would ruin the pleasures this barbed comedy has to offer. |
| TheWrapTricia OlszewskiSilva does manage to introduce discomfort slowly, but the manner in which things go very, very wrong is dealt with superficially. |
| L.A. WeeklyAmy NicholsonNasty Baby isn't satisfying. But on Silva's terms, it makes sense. |
| The PlaylistKatie WalshThe 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. |
| Slant MagazineClayton DillardThe film is a compelling addition to Sebastián Silva's cinema of compassionate comeuppance. |
| RogerEbert.comMark DujsikWriter/director Sebastián Silva doesn't cheat in terms of storytelling, though. Throughout the film, he sets up these characters, and us, for what happens. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyPleasantly 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. |
