A film of vibrant contrasts in a dramatic New York setting, Nasty Baby is the creation from multi-award winning cinematic auteur Sebastian Silva. Co-produced by Pablo Larrain, it stars Silva, Kristen Wiig and actor, director and vocalist Tunde Adebimpe in a morally inquisitive film which deftly combines social commentary with powerfully personal issues in the intense, shifting world of artists and yuppies. A Brooklyn couple, performance artist Freddy and his boyfriend Mo, are trying to have a baby with the help of their best friend, Polly. As they navigate the pitfalls of creating a new life, they are continually harassed by a menacing local vagrant known as 'The Bishop' - their joyous pursuit of parenthood suddenly taking a dark turn when Polly is assaulted.

The film definitely has interesting elements, but it all falls apart for me because it tries to take itself very seriously and considers itself to be very artistic, which simply doesn't suit it. It would look much better if it didn't try so hard to impress with its visual side and show that this is something that must be presented at festivals.
